Description: KDirStat is a graphical disk usage utility, very much like the Unix "du" command.
It 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.Last changelog:
2.4.4: Now supports hard links and sparse files properly
2.5.2 (development version!): Can now read and write directory contents from cache files generated by (supplied) Perl script, e.g. in cron job over night
The current status can be seen at http://grumpypenguin.org There are a lot of things left to fix, but for just displaying the tree and map, it seems to work.
K4dirstat seems to work fine, thanks a lot for this! Alas it doesn't remember that I don't want to see the treemap.
A peculiar bug: virtualbox' virtual harddisks are always displayed with size zero, same goes for the nepomuk database (db-file). The old KDE3 kdirstat shows the correct size. Are the files too large for k4dirstat (over 2 GB each)?
either its me reading the ui wrong or the ui is reporting size wrong.
i run it on my home dir and get 669MB used. but when i rightclick in konqueror and select properties i get 2,4 GB used.
so whats going on?
I downloaded kdirstat-2.4.0, unpacked it, ran ./configure and make. The latter failed with the error that there was an unexpected ";" on line 49 of kdirstat/kdirstatapp.h. I removed the ";" and ran make again. This time it succeeded. There was however a warning for every c-file:
cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wmissing-prototypes" is valid for Ada/C/ObjC but not for C++
Probably you have to remove the "-Wmissing-prototypes" for getting rid of this message. I don't know how other compiler versions deal with this option.
BTW: FC3 uses gcc 3.4.2

Are there any plans to port this nice app to qt4?
I second this! KDirStat is very useful - and it really should be ported to KDE4!
I'm working on that. http://forum.kde.org/brainstorm.php?mode=idea&i=83072&c=146229#anchormain

forget it, i found that konqueror has a "file size view" that basically does what kdirstat does, and with much better results.
Fedora Core 5 Users can download kdirstat via yum. yum install kdirstat

Hi , I want know what are the diferences of this app with FSPartView in KDE 3.2 TIA.
It's a whole different application. See http://kdirstat.sourceforge.net/kdirstat.html#features for details.
