General Settings

General Settings Tab of the Setting Dialog contains the following groups of parameters:

Automatic Fading

Enabled (True or False). Specifies whether the automatic fading is enabled or not. Disk Space Analyzer can use fading as a way of reducing visual data overload, when displaying big graphs. If automatic fading is enabled, only selected elements will be displayed normally and all elements not included in the selection will be faded.
Depth of Field (integer number). Diagram elements are faded differently depending on the distance from the nearest selected element. Depth of Field is the distance from the nearest selected element at which diagram elements are faded to the maximum extent specified be the Max Fading parameter.
Max Fading (0..100). 0 means no fading and 100 means completely transparent.
Show Path (True or False) specifies whether the elements from a selected element to the root are alway shown unfaded or not.
Show Subtree (True or False) specifies whether the elements in a selected element subtree are always unfaded or not.

Max Width is a maximum width of a directory structure. Where by width we denote the maximum number of subfolders displayed in a diagram.
Max Size Threshold is a maximum size threshold that can be used in the Disk Pane.
Truncate Long Names. Specifies the maximum length of a folder name that will be displayed in the Disk Pane without truncation. To disable long name truncation set this parameter to 0.
