#12 Add Block View Option

Bakr Ali — Thu, 21 May 2020 20:15:57 -0000

Hello, hope you are doing well.

It seems you have abandoned this project? I hope not. If you didn't then please take a look at how this bar view was implemented on the Android app DiskUsage https://youtu.be/5ZR8AEIYxfg

I hope you can implement this bar view.

Spanish lenguaje support

Peter — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 11:14:12 -0000

While there is a translation for English and French , it is stored in a library format that not allows to add new translations . I want a Spanish translation or an easy way to translate it.

Thanks for your support.

Is common use this analysis to view of distribuitión by file type, searching how sotrage was used. Then once selected a file type of interest go to folder's level where one can view where is stored.

Report disk usage on compress folder

Steve Pham — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 20:17:37 -0000

I just downloaded the beta 1.4.0.0; but, I don't think the disk usage report is accurate for compressed folders in NTFS. Do you have a setting to enable/disable sizes reported in compressed attribute?

Display files bigger than x MB

Fabrice — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 20:07:57 -0000

I'd like to be able to display not only directories, but also big files. There could be an option: display files bigger than x MB.
Apart from that: great tool!

The pie view is great but it would be nice to also have an option for a block view (see attachment for example).

Deploy Arbo & hide them

swingrock — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:43:30 -0000

Hi,
First of all, i thank you very much for writing this program.

Here are some missing features that i will find very usefull.
1/ it would be nice, when we select a directory to have 2 little button (+-) in order to add or reduce the directory depth displayed for that directory.
2/ it would be nice to be able to hide a directory. It could be done via contextual menu. NB : freespace is a special case of that feature;
3/ Of course it could be nice to have hidden directory reappeard not only globaly, but also just under the selected directory.
4/ I did not find a simple level up. would be nice to have one.

I hope you will find those suggestion so nice that you were ready to develop them.
Anyway, thanks again.

Ability to import data (i.e. support non-Windows systems)

Ulrich Windl — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 07:35:24 -0000

It would be nice if there were a text-based file format that HDGraph could import, and then display the data as usual.
That way, it would be possible to collect data on non-Windows systems (e.g. UNIX) and then use HDGraph on Windows to display and analyze those.
Maybe some offline data collection would even make sense on Windows machines that are busy during the day, but idle at night.

Number of files

Ulrich Windl — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 07:31:22 -0000

Occasionally not only the used disk space is interesting, but also the number of files (e.g. thousands of files within one directory causing poor performance). Therefore I'd suggest to display the number of files in addition to the occupied space (maybe in a line below). And, allow to switch the view from "occupied space per directory" to "files per directory".
This should be easy to implement, because the number of files can be computed while computing the space occupied per directory.

Print!

Great tool! Very useful... A print function would be amazing.
