1.12.1 – 11 September 2026

The colours per level are back, now on both sides

The first attempt at a clearer explorer had a colour per folder level; the two panes of 1.12.0 left it out. He asked for it back – and with two panes it does more than it did in one list, because the same colour now ties the left to the right.

• Left: every folder icon has the colour of its level – Program Files blue, a folder in it orange, then green, purple, pink and yellow – and a line in that colour runs along everything below an open folder. The open folder’s row is tinted in its own colour.
• Right: the header and the rows carry a tint in the colour of the open folder, each step of the path has a small square in its level’s colour, and the subfolders have their icon in the colour they have on the left.
• The root of the scan has no colour. Hover, selection and the marks from a finding stay stronger than the tint. In the dark theme the tints are stronger, because the light theme’s would disappear there.

The Advice button on the overview is filled

Advice → under the findings on the overview is now a filled button, like New scan – it is the step most people take next.

Verified

• On C: (1,421,489 files), Program Files and three levels down to StarCitizen, light and dark: blue, orange and green match between the tree, the path and the contents; no script errors.
• The overview of a fresh scan (1,429,153 files): Advice → under the findings is filled blue, the same as New scan in the header.
• The MSI unpacked with msiexec /a: gscan.exe (1.12.1.0), Readme.html, API.md and the Postman collection are identical to the build and the sources.

1.12.0 – 11 September 2026

The explorer answers "where am I" and "what is in here" separately

Expanding Program Files made it hard to see what fell under it: every row looked the same, sixty subfolders pushed the rest of the drive out of view, and scrolling lost the folder you had opened. A first attempt – a colour per level, and the open folder’s row staying at the top – made the list readable, but it treated the symptom. Four levels down it was four coloured lines, four stacked headers and blocks longer than the screen.

So the explorer is now two panes, the way Windows Explorer, TreeSize and WizTree do it:

• Left, a folder tree: folders only, compact, each with its size. The open folder is marked and the chain to it is expanded.
• Right, the contents of that one folder: folders and files together by size, under a header that says where you are – C:\ › Program Files · 195 GB · 13,3% of C:\ · 402,580 files – with an up button. What falls under Program Files is simply what stands on the right.
• Share is per folder now. In Program Files, Roberts Space Industries is 58.6% rather than 7.8% of the drive; the header carries the share of the drive.
• The keyboard: ↑↓ to choose, Enter or → to open, Backspace or ← to go up – landing on the folder you came from – and Space to tick.
• The header, the column titles and the tree stay in place while the contents scroll. The column titles never did: overflow:hidden on the table made it a scroll box of its own. It is overflow:clip now.
• Rows are 29 px instead of 34, with slightly smaller type and buttons.
• A jump from a finding, from file types or from duplicates across scans opens the folder on the right with the cursor on the file. A target the scan does not know as a folder falls back to the nearest one it does. The ten largest folders on the overview open in the explorer with a click.

Verified

• On C: (1,397,611 files): Program Files shows its contents on the right and is marked in the tree; from StarCitizen, Backspace lands in Roberts Space Industries with the cursor on StarCitizen; scrolled down 900 px, header, column titles and tree stay put; ArrowDown twice puts the cursor on the second row; light and dark theme.
• The finding about files untouched for a year jumps ten levels down into a Hugging Face cache: the chain expanded, the path shortened to C:\ › … › snapshots › … › unet, both files marked, the cursor on the first.
• C:\pagefile.sys passed without isFile, as file types does: C:\ on the right, the cursor on pagefile.sys, the up button disabled at the root.
• No script errors in any of these runs; an error handler put them on screen had there been any.

1.11.0 – 11 September 2026

Leave a scan out of the duplicates across scans

Duplicates across every scan takes every finished scan in the list, and that is not always what you want: an old scan of a drive that has changed since, or a drive you would rather not touch. Removing a scan from the list was only possible for one that had failed.

Every scan that is no longer running now has a small × at the end of its row in the sidebar – Remove from list. The row stays one line. The text button that failed scans got in 1.10.0 is gone from the sidebar, so the same action looks the same on every row; the error screen keeps its button.

Removing a scan also drops an earlier across-scans result, because that result counted the scan and its sums are no longer true. The server throws it away – or, when the search is still running, keeps nothing when it finishes – and the page offers the search again.

The API and the papers, for SSH

• API.md has a section on scanning Linux over SSH: a curl example with --data-urlencode for the password (an & or + in it would otherwise arrive changed), how the password travels, the error codes, and where volumeSize and volumeFree come from over SSH.
• Postman has two SSH requests, one with a key and one with a password taken from the new collection variable sshPassword; result and forget say what changed.
• Administrator.md has Linux hosts: a key or a password – per account the tool runs under, and what it means in server mode. README, Readme.html and docs/service-account.md follow.

Installers no longer pile up

tools/bouw.ps1 builds exe, setup and msi in one go and keeps only the current version’s installers in installer\uit; released versions hang on their GitHub release. -Versie raises the number in every place at once – both spellings in gscan.rc included, the one missed twice on the way to 1.10.1 – and refuses a number that is not higher, because at an equal number Windows Installer leaves the old exe in place. It checks the number in the finished exe before it builds the installers, and -WhatIf shows all of it without doing anything.

Verified

• bouw.ps1 -Versie 1.10.2 -ZonderBouwen on a copy of the seven files: exactly the version strings changed, line endings and BOM untouched; -WhatIf changed nothing; an equal number was refused.
• bouw.ps1 -Versie 1.11.0 for real: exe 1.11.0.0, setup and msi built, and the nine installer files of 1.9.3, 1.10.0 and 1.10.1 removed; the screenshot in the same folder left alone.
• Two folder scans and a failed SSH scan: after duplicates across every scan the server returned {"groups":[],...,"running":false}; removing one scan made that {"running":false}.
• The sidebar in Dutch: a × at the end of both rows, dimmed on the one not selected; a click on the second × removed the failed scan from /api/jobs and from the page, and the overview stayed on the remaining scan.
