SPACEMONGER 2!

Ignatius pointed out this bit of software a long time ago and its been excellent to manage disk space with coloured visual charts of what is occupying how much space.

Well, the guy is currently running trials of version 2 and its teh nutz!!

The graphics are tighter, the features incredible and it animates live. So if you unpack a rarfile then it redraws how much space it uses as it unpacks.

You can zoom in on areas by mousing over it and using the mouse wheel and then drag the screen about to move. right click then brings up menus where you can manipulate files to a degree [copy, del, move, open in app, etc]

The developer, Sean Werkema, reckons this is going to be about $15-20 when its ready to be released and most of that is in fees to the collection agencies.

Superb piece of softs!!

That is a bloody brilliant idea! back in the days of 20MB drive (yah, showing my age) I'm sure there was a dos app that did this, or was it os/2?

There have been sooo many times when I have had to cull files on media drives and I really wished for something like this. There was a unix app I used to use, can't remember what it was called, that I used a while back too. I've never seen anything this cool running on Windows since god knows!

If there's anyone out there that persistantly deals with multiple media files that exceed 50MB and have a hardrive akin to bla's wire routing I so reccomend this. In fact, no, - anyone who has more than 50 files of varying sizes in one directory. Have I covered everyone yet?

great program....just as a note, i've run the program under windows, and pointed it over the network to the hard drive of my ibook, and it mapped that for me with no problem. useful stuff for sure.

Disk Inventory X is a nice OS X native version of the above: link

I didn't realize how much of my ibook drive contains garageband loops and other crap like that until I ran it.
