General Options
==================

Overwrite existing files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If this option is active,  TreeSize will overwrite files that already exist during the export. This means, that older reports with the same file name will be replaced with a newer one.

Append to existing files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Activate this option to append to existing files. This allows to add new content to your reports, while keeping the information of a previous export intact.

Add date and time to file names
If you want to make sure that each report has a unique file name, you can use this option to add the current date and time to all exported file names.
