We will most likely add a new menu item "Select path list for scan" to the File menu.

any update on this? I need to be able to create a scan task using a text file generated regularly from one of our service lines and create a top level folder size report based on that list of folders.

Other feature requests did receive more votes, which is why we implemented them first.

Please keep in mind that you can already scan such a file using the /SCAN command line parameter.

You can already scan paths from a file using the /SCAN command line parameter followed by the file path. Is this sufficient for you?

I prefer to use the GUI and typically have a list of folders to scan (with multithreading) where each folder is in a different parent folder. Plus I cannot scan at the path of those parent folders due to time constraints as they contain thousands of other large folders many of which I don't need to scan.

Are those paths fix? Or do they change for each usage?
You can drop folders from Explorer to the TreeSize directory tree to let them scan. Is this helpful for you?

Using a combination of the drag-drop and the /scan methods, that should be good enough for now thanks.
