	Aug 30 2008	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.

	Aug 1 2008	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! (Version 1.3.1)		+1

	Jun 21 2008	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. (Version 1.3a)		+1

	Mar 2 2007	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. (Version 1.3)		+1

	Feb 5 2006	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. (Version 1.2.3)		0

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.

	Feb 5 2006	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).
