The optional touch-friendly layout, which first debuted in version 3.3, has been redesigned with a modern UWP-style layout. TreeSize Free is now available for download through the Windows Store, replacing the previous TreeSize Touch tool. While this is a welcome addition to TreeSize, it’s a feature users will have already been able to utilize in other similar free programs, such as SpaceSniffer and WinDirStat. The chart can be manipulated using the mouse - use the wheel to zoom in and out, double-click to navigate downwards through folders or simply hover the mouse over an item to reveal more information about it. This view can be customized to focus on information the user finds relevant by selecting a level of detail and choosing what elements to include. Users activate the treemap via the View tab on the program’s new Office-like ribbon interface (another new feature) - click 'Show Treemap' to do so. The headline new feature in TreeSize 4.0 Free is the introduction of a new hierarchical treemap chart view, which was previously restricted to the Professional edition only.
