History

In the History view you can see line charts visualizing the size development of the selected root folder

You can customize the period of time shown here by usingthe option "Select history interval" on the History context tab. It is possible to choose a date before the first scan time and after the last scan time. If you do so the sizes used in the line charts for dates before the first scan time are values approximated by the creation time of the files. All values after the last scan time are projected values, based on the former scans.
Please note that these values do not reflect the real space usage values!
