DESCRIPTION

JDiskReport enables you to understand how much space the files and directories consume on your disk drives, and it helps you find obsolete files and folders.

The tool analyses your disk drives and collects several statistics which you can view as overview charts and details tables.

This is ad- and nag-free uncrippled binary multi-platform software that is free of charge and that never expires.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.3.1:
  • This maintenance update fixes a bug with recent Java 6 versions.
  • On the Mac the "/Volumes" directory is not excluded by default. Hence, external drives can be scanned without changing the filter. On the other hand, external drives will be scanned and listed, if you scan the root directory "/".
  • Slightly improved dialog design. Fixed duplicate mnemonics, fixed broken radio menu item mnemonics, style guide compliant mnemonics, added a few menu accelerators.
REQUIREMENTS
Java 1.5 or later.

SYHARRIS  I just discovered JDiskReport and have to agree that it's the best of its kind, emminently more useful and practical than the others of its type.

Grand Perspective and Disk Inventory X, for example, may offer a prettier graphical display of one's hard drive but so what, they're not as functional.

This one's extremely intelligently designed.

DRDUL  By far the best app in this category. I tried others like Grand Perspective and Disk Inventory X, but neither offers the features and functionality of JDiskReport. Highly recommended!

MAKAI  Simply my favourite tool when I need to find out where all the space has gone...

Scans my MB drive filled with 50GB in a bit more than 3 minutes.

KAUFMAN  This is a great program. Very useful for finding huge files.

It would be nice if there were some way to go from the file or directory listing to a finder window. Right now, after I find a huge directory to prune, I have to manually navigate to the same directory in the finder. It would be nice if there was a way to do that automagically.

BLAZEDRAGON555  Wow! This is an incredible little gadget you have there. Up until now, I used "Show Volume Fragmentation" which was free too but so many things were hidden from the program. With JDiskReport, I found that Garageband was taking 3 GIGAS of space, and I didn't even use it! In one day, the space on my Mac went from 16G left to 26G left. Thanks!

The only problem is, its a bit slow. Took me an hour to scan my Hard Drive.

KIDDAILEY  An hour? That's it? Mine has been going now for 8 hours and 15 minutes... and that's only my user folder ;)

BLAZEDRAGON555  Well, then your computer must have been big... I have an iBook G4 with 40G space. You may have had more files.

KIDDAILEY  :) A few more files for sure, but it's been spending hours going through my OS X Mail folders.

I cancelled it 11 hours into scanning though as it appeared to be partially frozen (the timer was still going, but the directory/file counter hadn't changed for at least 2 hours).

It would seem that it doesn't do well with huge mbox files -- which is a little curious since I would have thought it would have considered the mbox as a whole instead of looking at each e-mail inside it. Oh well.

BLAZEDRAGON555  Ok. But otherwise, it is a wonderful file.

KIDDAILEY  Hmmm... this appears to be a really handy utility if you're like me and have a hard drive packed with stuff. The software seems very well put together and the interface has a cool twist in that it lets you use the graphs as a mean for navigating around the directory structure (in addition to a standard tree-view method).
