… your proposal has one additional blocker issue: it would introduce proprietary software into what’s otherwise completely libre software. So while I am in the process of abstracting the respective parts in order to plug in ways to supply data to create treemaps from, … and so plugging new methods to enumerate files and their properties would be an option …

Also it will make it impossible to get the hydration state of cloud files (which gets synthesized by the FS driver when you traverse directories, but isn’t resident in the MFT to the best of my knowledge). And it solves nothing for FAT, FAT32, exFAT or ReFS drives either. WDS is going to lack some minor features for unprivileged users, but it should be usable for them.Īnd even then a lot of extra book-keeping is required as well as precautions to prevent people from touching the wrong files. That’s a prerequisite I am not ready to demand of users across the board.

I’m not a native english speaker, so sorry any language mistakes.įirst there are free-of-charge and liberally licensed libraries around which parse the MFT just fine (even in various programming languages, if need be), but the biggest issue is that this “feature” is only a feature as long as the software runs as admin (or elevated, for that matter).

So, I’m not complaining, because I know WinDirStat is a great piece of software, is free, is lightweigh and worked very well to me for years…īut I just feel that I could report this issue, so maybe it could be addressed! WinDirStat shows that it is taking 12,8GB. When WinDirStat come up with the results I realize it did’nt get it right…įor example: a directory dropbox-setted to “just cloud” windows shows as “14,9GB” but only “4,95MB IN DISK”… So, as I’m running out of space, today I ran WinDirStat to decide which folder I could make “just cloud” to free-up space. I have a pretty big directory structure in dropbox, where most of the folders and files are not downloaded to my hard-drive, but dropbox makes “something” to make windows show all the “icons”, so you can right-click and select to make it “local”. Really!! WinDirStat and Anti-Twin are a unbeatable duo to save space and organizing files in Windows… and the two are free, the two are lightweight and non-invasive.īut today, first time, I realized that Dropbox SmartSync feature confuses WinDirStat.
