This tool works great to index the largest folders. Are you planning to add a function to do the same for files, so it is possible to find the largest files on a drive in the same format?

There is output largest folder and FILES now. Did you mean to add filter to print only files or only folders?
Can I ask for what purpose you need in that?

I didn't see the output contains folders and files now, probably because I have more large folders than the limit I had set in the configuration.

You are right, I mean a filter to print only files (or only folders, since your tool now does both at the same time).

The use case for it is to identify the largest files on a datadisk, which can be stored in a tree of several subfolders. These subfolders will fill up the results if scanning with your tool, not identifying which file in the folder(s) is taking up the most space.

I used your tool on a fileshare with the goal to find large stored mediafiles in the folder trees, but I didn't reach my goal because the results only showed the large (sub)folders.
