SpaceSharp 1.5.0

Tune the map, find your way back faster, and read what's new without leaving the app.

The Treemap page

Settings has a new Treemap tab. Density decides how many small items are drawn before they group into one box, from Sparse to Everything (no grouping at all; G flips to it and back). Bias is a slider from Horizontal to Vertical that steers the layout toward wide or tall boxes. Padding, border width and the label font are yours to set, and you choose what file boxes and folder titles show: centered names, sizes, file counts.

Settings in tabs

General, Appearance, Treemap, Map and Scanning, one page at a time. New under Scanning: Keep saved scans for, a slider from a week to forever (3 months by default) with a button to delete them all, and Leave out as a list of chips with one-click entries for node_modules, $Recycle.Bin, *.tmp, .git and System Volume Information.

Pick up where you left off

The start screen lists your recent saved scans. One click reopens yesterday's map, compared with the scan before it. Scan a folder and Open a saved scan sit beneath the list; the administrator offer for the fast scan is a single line at the foot of the map instead of a card.

About, shortcuts, updates

About is a short list: version with a Check button, What's new, Keyboard shortcuts, Report a bug, Suggest a feature, Source on GitHub, Credits. The shortcuts have their own window, grouped into Navigate, Select and act, View and files. When an update is available you get a dialog with Install and restart, What's new and Later; What's new shows the release notes right there, with a link to the full changelog.
