WhatSize allows you to quickly measure the size in bytes of a given folder and all subfolders and files within it. You would be surprised at how many useless files might be laying around on your hard disks. The files and folders are automatically sorted by size, with the biggest sizes first. WhatSize helps find out what files are taking up all of that space. Then it makes it really easy to remove or move those files. You'd be surprised how many useless files are lying around on your Mac's hard disk.

While the app is measuring a folder the user can browse the files within that folder and immediately see the size in bytes. Hidden files, cache files, directories will all show up with their corresponding size. This application is similar to the ancient NeXTSTEP, DarkForest.
Once the measuring of a folder has ended the user can also view the information by filtering for particular file sizes or types. The user can also move unwanted files and folder in the corresponding Trash bin similar to the Finder's Delete button.

if it is the time consuming part, not much can be done, we HAVE TO crawl the disk and hash each file.

You could use vi to write your theses.
You don't even need Finder for that matter.
What WS gives you is value added, a view of the file system from a completely different angle.

WhatSize really helps you answer this question: "where did the disk space go?"
The pie view is useless (actually, I don't understand how a graphic view could help me with the purpose of uncluttering my hard drive), but everything else is efficient: it analyzes folders or drives.
You identify the big folders and then you can clean them.
It's not very fast, but hey, that's not the kind of task that's supposed to be lightning quick: it uses some resources!
Bonus for me: it finds duplicates. Very efficiently.
A good app at a fair price if you've got the need. If you don't, keep your 13 bucks.

If i hover the mouse over the center, i see a grey circle and a box showing the path and size, period. No pie chart. No drilling in or out.

I admit, that once you measure a folder, you'd have to swich from browser view to pie chart to see the piechart.
So that seems like a minor bug.

I THINK I finally figured out the Problem with the "Serial Name"
I DID go back and found my invoice from MacUpdate.
I copy and pasted the Name as it was listed there...
I THINK (but have not proven) there MIGHT be an invisible "TAB" or two between my First and Last Names.
One way or another WhatSize is now working...
but after ALL that trouble, it doesn't really offer much as a Utility

Serial name? I dont now that!
I have the serial number but the program ask for the serial name!
What shall I do?? Bought the program 7des08 together with 9 other programs from MacUpdate... In my e mail I get it says nothing abouth a serial name.. Is there someone who can help in this?

Me Three!
I've tried every variation of my name I can think of... even my company name!
Will someone (from WhatSize? or elsewhere) PLEASE solve this mystery?!?

I asked MacUpdate abouth the trouble too activate my WhatSize. The answer helps me - write your name EXACTLY as you write it when "you" ask for the "packet".
I did, and hurray - then it was registrated! This was my way too get it running.. Hope other can use same prosedyre.
Thanks..
Super!

The main window can't be shown, all of the menus don't work, and bottom half WhatSize's application menu is completely blank (as in no text, just an empty menu).
thx!
