KDirStat Description
KDirStat is a graphical disk usage utility, very much like the Unix KDirStat is a graphical disk usage utility, very much like the Unix "du" command.KDirStat project displays a directory tree both in classical tree format (like Konqueror, but with accumulated tree sizes, shown as MB / GB and as percentage bars) and in "treemap" format like SequoiaView.In addition to that, KDirStat provides cleanup facilities to reclaim disk space - both predefined and customizable.Here are some key features of "KDirStat":Display Features · Graphical and numeric display of used disk space· Files kept apart from directories in separate items to prevent cluttering the display· All numbers displayed human readable - e.g., 34.4 MB instead of 36116381 Bytes· Different colors in the directory tree display to keep the different tree levels visually apart· Display of latest change time within an entire directory tree - you can easily see what object was changed last and when. Treemap Display · Treemap as alternate (auxiliary) view of a directory tree· Easily find large in a directory tree: You see the entire tree at once. Large rectangles are large files - you can see them even if they are hidden somewhere deep within the tree.· Treemap view slaved to the tree (list) view: Click on a file in the treemap, and it is selected in the tree view - and vice versa.· Treemap tiles are colored by file type - all images in cyan, all audio tracks (MP3 etc.) in yellow, executables in magenta etc.; you can see from the color what a treemap rectangle is.· Many treemap variants available:· Plain treemap· Squarified treemap (no thin elongated rectangles)· Cushion treemap· Colored treemap· All combinations of the above · Fast implementation: Treemap built in fractions of a second (on quite ordinary machines: Athlon-550 class)· Treemap subwindow can be resized as the user prefers· Treemap can be switched off with a single keypress (F9)· Context menu with cleanup actions etc.· Zoom the treemap in/out treemap with double click (left/right)· Many treemap configuration options Directory Reading · Stays on one file system by default - reads mounted file systems only on request.· You don't care about a mounted /usr file system if the root file system is full and you need to find out why in a hurry, nor do you want to scan everybody's home directory on the NFS server when your local disk is full.· Network transparency: Scan FTP or Samba directories - or whatever else protocols KDE support.· PacMan animation while directories are being read. OK, this is not exactly essential, but it's fun. Cleaning up· Predefined cleanup actions: Easily delete a file or a directory tree, move it to the KDE trash bin, compress it to a .tar.bz2 archive or simply open a shell or a Konqueror window there.· User-defined cleanup actions: Add your own cleanup commands or edit the existing ones.· "Send mail to owner" report facility: Send a mail requesting the owner of a large directory tree to please clean up unused files. Misc · Feedback mail facility: Rate the program and tell the authors your opinion about it.What's New in 2.4.4 Release:· Sparse files and hard links are now properly supported.What's New in 2.5.2 Release:· Can now read and write directory contents from cache files generated by (supplied) Perl script, e.g. in cron job over night
