The Details provides an Explorer-like list of files and folders that are contained in the current selected item in the Directory Tree.

## More Columns

Detailed information on each file or folder can be shown by selecting the desired attribute in the column list, available by right-clicking the header of the list. Individual file types, users or Age of files intervals can be added as columns as well. To do so, right click on the extensions, user, or interval and select "Add column ... to Details". These columns will be exported as well, if in the Options the checkbox "Use same columns as in Details view" is checked.

## Context tab: Details

Like every view in TreeSize, the Details view comes with a Ribbon tab that is activated when the the list is clicked. The Ribbon tab provides commonly used list functions such as select operations or export features.
