Happy IconASHE-6SQR5MAll editions: database maintenance (data collection and merge) events are now recorded in the Windows Applicatin Event Log.
Happy IconASHE-6SQR6GEnterprise, Domino and Exchange Editions: A database connection history is now maintained. You can choose previous databases that you have successfully connected to and easily switch between them.
Happy IconASHE-6SQR7PEnterprise, Domino and Exchange Editions: You can now filter where you search with the File Find tool to particular parts of your space database. You can also include these limits in your Virtual Folder definitions.


For example, you might define a virtual folder called "Most recent excel files in Accounts" or "Largest files on server x".

Happy IconASHE-6T4G5YSize on disk is now recorded for files and folders. You can see this as a new column in the File Finder, Directory Finder and Tree Summary. To display this new column use the "View" toolbar button and choose the "Size on Disk" column.


"Size on disk" is the physical space taken up by a file on disk at the time the data was collected - this can vary over time depending on compression, whether or not the file has been migrated to archive storage, and any differences in characteristics of any volume it is moved to.

Happy IconASHE-6T4G6UFile duplicates: where you search on size and date only, there may be different sub-sets of duplicates with different sizes/dates but the same filename. These are now color-coded to highlight each sub-set more easily.
