GrandPerspective 1.1 – Graphically shows disk usage within a file system.

September 26, 2009

GrandPerspective 1.1

GrandPerspective is a small utility application for Mac OS X that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. It uses a so-called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file’s size. Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary.

WHAT’S NEW
Version 1.1.0:

Minor improvements:

  • Added number of scanned and deleted files to Info panel
  • Added Rescan button to toolbar
  • Rescan can now optionally close the old window
  • Added context menu to views to let you Reveal, Open and Delete selected files
  • Added ability to store user-editable comments with saved scan data
  • Scan data is now stored in files with a .gpscan extension
    • These files have their own icon and filetype, and are associated with the application
  • You can now invoke the application from the command line with:
    • a path of a folder to scan, or
    • a path of a scan data file to load
  • Added various advanced “How To” sections to the help documentation

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed bug #2562846: Failure to load scan data
    • Incorrect saving of scan data in OS X 10.4 should be fixed now
  • Freed space did not correctly reflect deletion of hard-linked files

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3 or later.

PRICE
Free
