GrandPerspective is a small utility application for Mac OS X that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. It uses a so-called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file's size. Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary.
What's New
Version 1.3.3:
- It fixes two memory leaks (a large and a small one) and attempts to solve the crashes that some users have reported.
- It may fix the problem, but if not it will help in tracking the cause, as it generates additional logging to Console.
Requirements
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.3 or later

The only thing that Disk Inventory (also free) does that I prefer is having the folder directory incorporate right into (or rather, "left onto" ;) the main window so that it's easier to navigate between folders without having to rescan.
But the simplicity of interface may be what some users prefer. 5 *

Just tried it with a 50G folder on Lion & took only 3 sec to complete scanning. Results surely seems to be pretty accurate!

I cannot reproduce the crash myself, so I would be grateful to hear whether or not this version does not crash anymore. If so, I will make it an official release. If not, I will continue my hunt for the bug.

My Grand Perspective 0.9.13 crash log says it's a
Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000.
I'd send the developer a copy of my Grand Perspective crash log but I can't locate an email address for him.

If it doesn't crash anymore on systems where it used to crash (please let me know), then it will be released officially tomorrow.
