The source code to SpaceMonger 1.4 runnable by Visual Studio Community 2019

SpaceMonger Version 1.4.0 "living" fork

Introduction

SpaceMonger 1 is a free old tool developed by seanofw for keeping track of the disk space on your computer.

This fork is just a a version directly compabile with Visual Studio 2019 Community.

By compatible we mean:

• you can compile it
• you can modify it
• you can fork it

How to

Install Visual Studio 2019 Community and select "Windows desktop development with C++" and inside, "C++ MFC".

Then get the source (using your favorite tools) and double click SpaceMonger.sln. Visual Studio should open and you may be able to generate/build the project.

Available modifications through branchs

The aim was to produce an everynight map of a share disk for users to better understand their usage. We needed autoscan, to hide filenames, a maximum file report and snapshot of the result even when run in session0 (Task Scheduler).

Every feature get its own branch:

• OneProgramData: Show ProgramData only once. So not twice with dupes in C:\Users\All Users.
• SanitizeFilenames: Remove filenames, but keep extensions when possible. Exception for the "Trash" filename. Be careful: we hope there is no secrets in users directory names or filename extensions like ".mypasswordis123456" or ".IHateMyBoss".
• SetDensityTo3: If you only run SpaceMonger through a "virtual" account (Service or Task Scheduler) it may have different settings.
• AutoScanC: Autostart a scan on "C:" on startup.
• AutoCapture1920x1080: Take a snapshot of the result at 1920x1080 resolution and write it to disk. Work even if in session0.

Then the e-gaulue is my all in one (through cherry-pick) + autoclose the application when finished.

Project status

Not sure I'll have any time to follow this project, even if I think plenty of things could be done as:

• compilation optimisation
• use with command line options
