SpaceMonger v1.4.8

Added

• The window stays usable during a scan. The scan no longer runs in a nested
  message loop: a timer in the main window drives it. Clean Up, Settings
  and About keep working while it runs, Esc or Cancel stops it, and
  the live map is laid out less often on big drives so it never takes more
  than about a ninth of the time.
• Scan cache: the last finished scan of a place is saved under
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\SpaceMonger\cache and shown at once (with its date) while
  the new scan runs, so the map can be browsed and zoomed right away. The new
  scan always runs in full and replaces it; nothing is skipped or trusted.
  Scans of more than 3 million entries are not cached. Off with Settings >
  Keep the last scan... (or scan_cache = 0 under
  HKCU\Software\65\SpaceMonger\1.3).
• Clean Up works in the background with a progress bar, the location being
  emptied and a Stop button, and shows how many locations are measured.
• Right-click > Copy path and size puts the full path, size (readable and
  in bytes) with share of the drive, folder contents, last change and the
  computer name on the clipboard.
• The version is in the window title (SpaceMonger 1.4.7).

Fixed

• Show in Explorer in the HTML report did nothing unless /register had
  been run. The window now registers the spacemonger: links for the current
  user whenever it writes a report (and again if the program was moved).

Changed

• Ctrl+E is the Report button; Ctrl+Shift+E still asks where to save and
  offers CSV. Export list is gone from the right-click menu: it did the same
  as Report, and the menu is about the item under the pointer.

What's Changed

• Release 1.4.8: responsive scan, scan cache, background clean-up by @JRpersonal in #15

Full Changelog: v1.4.7...v1.4.8

SpaceMonger v1.4.7

Added

• HTML report: /html <file or folder> (and Export list, Ctrl+E) writes
  one self-contained page with the map as in the window, hover details, zoom
  by double-click, Explorer on a double-clicked file (as in the window) and
  the biggest folders and files. No network needed; a
  whole drive is a few hundred KB, so it fits into OneDrive or a mail.
• Report button in the toolbar, in the accent colour: writes the HTML page
  of the scan to Documents\SpaceMonger and opens it in the browser.
• Show in Explorer from the HTML page through spacemonger: links,
  set up per user with /register (/unregister removes them). Only plain
  local paths are accepted; a link never deletes or changes anything.

Fixed

• By file type: blocks of files too small to draw one by one were grey
  (Other); they now take the colour of their largest file.
• Window title after zooming into a folder scan lacked the backslash after
  the scanned folder (C:\FileServerUsers\).

Changed

• Settings take effect as soon as they are chosen, not only after OK;
  Cancel puts everything back.
• Toolbar icons in dark mode are drawn with stronger strokes; disabled ones
  are lighter, so both are easy to tell apart from the background.
• The search field is larger and stands out: a rounded field with a
  magnifier, an accent frame while typing, and a hint readable in dark mode.
• README: starts with the problem SpaceMonger solves and what people use it
  for, then the features with screenshots and close-ups; what this fork is
  for, and a rollout guide for IT (per-user HTML reports through Intune or
  a scheduled task, help desk, inventory).

What's Changed

• README: why this fork, screenshots; fix file type colours by @JRpersonal in #8
• README: problem and use cases first, more screenshots and close-ups by @JRpersonal in #9
• Apply settings as soon as they are chosen by @JRpersonal in #10
• HTML report with the map and Show in Explorer links by @JRpersonal in #11
• HTML report: double-click a file to show it in Explorer by @JRpersonal in #12
• Add a Report button to the toolbar by @JRpersonal in #13
• Release 1.4.7 and a rollout guide for IT admins by @JRpersonal in #14

Full Changelog: v1.4.6...v1.4.7

SpaceMonger v1.4.6

Added

• Command line: SpaceMonger.exe <path> scans a drive, folder or share
  (\\PC01\c$) directly; /report <file or folder> scans without a window,
  writes a CSV report and exits (/top N, /hide-system, exit codes).
• CSV export of the biggest folders and files (right-click, Ctrl+E).
• Scan any folder from the drive dialog (Folder...) or by dropping it on
  the window.
• Free Up Space dialog: temporary files, caches and Recycle Bin in one
  click; biggest personal files with tips, moved to the Recycle Bin together.
• Run as administrator toolbar button; German translation; automatic
  language from Windows; colour schemes including By file type.
• Status strip with progress instead of the scan dialog; drive dialog opens
  at start with the first drive selected; richer tooltips with full path.
• Donation links (GitHub Sponsors, Ko-fi, PayPal).
• Path bar between toolbar and map: click a folder to go back to it.
• Search (Ctrl+F): matching files and folders keep their colours, the
  rest is washed out; the bar shows the number of matches.
• Colour legend for By file type.
• Dark mode (toolbar, path bar, status strip, map background, title bar),
  automatic with Windows or chosen in the settings.
• Folder scans no longer show the drive's free space as a block.

Changed

• Windows look: Common Controls v6, Fluent icon toolbar, Segoe UI dialogs,
  fonts scale with DPI and Windows text size.
• Live scan: the volume layout matches the final map, folders appear once
  complete, and frames blend briefly instead of jumping.
• System folders are muted and can be shown or hidden (System button);
  the not readable estimate counts as system content.
• Settings reduced to what people change: detail, colours, hover details,
  highlight, Delete lock, language and theme.
• The right-click menu no longer repeats toolbar commands; the
  Skipped: N button is gone (the not readable block explains it).

Fixed

• v1.4.5 did not start (duplicate dpiAware in the manifest).

SpaceMonger v1.4.5

First release of this fork, now code signed.

Changed

• The About dialog, file properties and README.TXT point to this repository
  (JRpersonal/spacemonger) for downloads and bug reports, and name both
  maintainers.
• Release executables are named SpaceMonger-x86.exe, SpaceMonger-x64.exe
  and SpaceMonger-arm64.exe, matching the upstream release names.

Added

• Signed releases: Authenticode signature (Certum Open Source certificate via
  SimplySign), Sigstore provenance after signing, SHA256SUMS, VirusTotal
  scan with a release gate, post-publish asset verification, and winget
  updates.
• tools/version.ps1 keeps the version in CMakeLists.txt, SpaceMonger.rc
  and README.TXT in sync; CI checks it on every pull request.
• Project documentation: architecture with diagrams, release runbook,
  third-party notices, security policy, contributing guide, issue templates.

Fixed

• Info-tip icon handle leak (HICON), stray NUL byte in a class-name
  initialiser, narrowing conversions, and hardening of the tip window, the
  settings dialog and scan cancellation.
