DESCRIPTION
OmniDiskSweeper is another quality product from The Omni Group, it's a Mac OS X utility for quickly finding and deleting big, useless files and thus making space on your hard disks. OmniDiskSweeper makes this easy by highlighting the biggest files on your disks, and by noting which files are used by the system, so you don't accidentally delete important files.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.6:
  • Hopefully worked around an issue on 10.5 Leopard which would sometimes cause our normally well-behaved "lsbom" child tasks to turn into zombie processes that would fill up the user's process table, leading to "No more processes" errors in other applications. (We weren't able to reproduce this here, so we can't prove that this fixes the issue. If you were seeing this, please let us know if this fix works!)
  • Rewrote the package scanner to find all the system packages on 10.5 Leopard.
  • If we can't find the factory-installed font "Helvetica-Oblique" (which we normally use for linked files), we now fall back on using the system font rather than crashing.
  • The built-in software update can now automatically download and install its updates.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

SYHARRIS  OmniDiskSweeper works just fine, but I'd say WhatSize is really just as good....and it's free.

Don't know if WhatSize works with Leopard(yet).....I'm still using Tiger.

But give both a spin, and then decide if ODS is worth purchasing.  (Version 1.6)

E_COMMERCE  I love the company, but they seriously need to offer more if they expect people to pay for this, given that their competition does the same thing for free. What does it do that WhatSize doesn't? I certainly don't see anything at first or second glance.  (Version 1.5)

ANONYMOUS  Another vote for WhatSize, absolutely free. You can find it at www.id-design.com. Alternatively, Tiger users can create a simple Smart Folder with a few rules to immediately identify the big files ... :-)  (Version 1.5 beta 1)
