v5.0.1 Minor Bug Fixes

TreeMap 5.0.1

Every bug reported against 5.0.0 is fixed in this release; the four reports
are linked below. Numbers and dates now read the English way on every
machine, and the Windows pages say Windows things.

Changed

• The mouse pointer inside TreeMap is now TreeMap's own. Instead of the
  system arrow, hand and I-beam you see one small dot, drawn eight ways:
  plain, over something clickable, in a text field, ready to grab, dragging,
  crosshair, resizing and disabled. It is pale on the dark theme and ink-dark
  on the light one, and each shape has a thin edge in the opposite shade so
  it stays visible on a treemap tile of its own colour.
• The dot is a true system cursor, so it moves exactly with your hand, never
  lags, and never disappears while TreeMap is busy. Every hover effect is
  unchanged: the dot tells you what kind of thing is under it, and the
  control's own highlight still tells you which one.

Fixed

• A release could lose its installers, with no way to get them back. On
  GitHub the download files belong to the release page, not to the version
  number, so when the v5.0.0 page was deleted and made again it came back
  with nothing to download
  (#32).
  Two things changed. A new release is
  published only after both installers are attached and checked, one by one,
  by name and size, so a release with an empty download list is no longer
  possible. And a release
  that has lost its files can have them rebuilt and put back (Actions →
  Build & Release → Run workflow → type the tag). What you will see: every
  release page lists the macOS and Windows installers.
• Windows restore points are measured in every language, and without
  guessing. The Missing GB receipt and the Dashboard now ask Windows for
  the space its restore points use as plain numbers. Before, TreeMap read the
  text Windows prints on screen (vssadmin) and looked for English labels in
  it; on a Portuguese Windows that text reads "Espaço de armazenamento de
  cópias de sombra usado: 7,98 GB", so nothing was found and the receipt
  showed nothing
  (#33).
  The receipt for one drive no longer counts another drive's restore points;
  when Windows cannot say which drive a restore point belongs to, the receipt
  says the figure covers the whole PC. Windows normally shows that space only
  to an administrator. When it is withheld, the receipt says so and tells you
  how to see it: quit TreeMap from its icon in the system tray, then start it
  with Run as administrator. The tray step matters: if a copy is still
  running there, the administrator copy closes at once and you would think
  nothing happened.
• Windows and Linux are no longer told about the Mac in the Dashboard,
  the Missing GB receipt, the preview pane and the first-run card. On
  Windows, TreeMap used to talk about Time Machine, Full Disk Access and
  "This Mac". Every one of those sentences now names your own system:
  restore points and running as an administrator on Windows, "This PC", and
  plain words like "this computer" until TreeMap knows which system it is
  on. The receipt's example of a file that reserves more room than it fills
  is now a Windows one (WSL's ext4.vhdx) rather than Docker.raw, and the hint
  for installing the video re-encoder names the Windows tool (winget) instead
  of the Mac one (Homebrew). This is the other half of the #33 report.
• Numbers and dates are written the English way on every machine. On a
  Portuguese or German computer TreeMap printed "1.234 shapes" beside
  "1.2 GB", the same dot meaning thousands in one number and tenths in the
  other. On an Arabic computer it printed Arabic-Indic digits inside English
  sentences. Counts had followed the computer's regional settings while sizes
  always used an English decimal point
  (#34).
  Every count TreeMap shows, on screen, in its messages and in exported
  reports, is now "1,234", and dates read "Sep 6, 2026" rather than
  "6 de set. de 2026". The clock stays your own, 10:31 PM or 22:31,
  whichever your computer uses, and so does the time zone. If your computer
  is not set to English you will notice this: TreeMap's numbers and dates
  now match the English words around them. TreeMap is now checked on a
  Portuguese-language computer so this cannot slip back.
• Disk Topology on Windows now shows each drive letter under the drive it
  is stored on. On a Windows PC with two or more drives, the Dashboard's
  Disk Topology card said "No volumes on this disk." under every drive. C:
  and D: were then listed on their own below, as if they belonged to no drive
  (#35).
  TreeMap now asks Windows which drive each letter is stored on. What you
  will see: C: under the first SSD and D: under the second, each with its own
  usage bar, and the stray cards gone. Two drives of the same model are told
  apart as "(Disk 0)" and "(Disk 1)", the same numbers Windows' Disk
  Management shows. If your PC uses Storage Spaces, Windows' way of pooling
  several drives into one, the pooled letter sits under one combined card
  that names only the drives in that pool. Each of those drives says "Part
  of the pool below.", and the drive Windows starts from is no longer shown
  as part of the pool. A locked BitLocker drive still appears under its
  drive, but its size and free space are shown as unknown rather than as 0.
  A drive letter that Windows does not tie to any drive keeps its own card
  instead of being guessed onto one, and if Windows does not say which drive
  any letter lives on, the card says so. Single-drive PCs look the same as
  before.

📥 Installing

macOS — TreeMap-5.0.1-arm64.dmg · Apple Silicon only (M1/M2/M3/M4). Open the DMG, drag TreeMap into Applications.

⚠️ macOS will block the first launch — this is expected

You'll see “Apple could not verify ‘TreeMap.app’ is free of malware…”. Your download is
fine. macOS shows that for any app Apple hasn't notarized, and notarization needs a paid
$99/year Apple Developer membership this free project doesn't have.

Fastest fix — drag TreeMap to Applications, open Terminal, paste this, press Return:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TreeMap.app

No-Terminal fix — double-click TreeMap → Done → System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security
→ scroll to Security → Open Anyway → authenticate → double-click TreeMap → Open Anyway.
(That button expires after ~1 hour; if it's missing, double-click TreeMap again to bring it back.)

On macOS Sequoia (15) and Tahoe (26) the old right-click → Open trick no longer works —
Apple removed it. Use one of the two routes above.

Full walkthrough, including the "TreeMap is damaged" variant:
Installing on macOS

Windows — TreeMap-Setup-5.0.1.exe. Run it, click More info → Run anyway at the SmartScreen prompt.

Intel Mac / Linux — no desktop build; run web mode from source (3 commands).
