GRYFFIN PROS: Visually stunning, polished animation, innovative display concept; I prefer graphical tools for this sort of thing. Preview feature is a nice addition, but crashed the app on some files. CONS: Main graphic seems too small, even on a big monitor; negative space is nice and all, but I'd prefer if DD displayed its info graphic as large as possible. Also, DD has no ability to trash files itself — MAJOR omission. Also, costs $$$ in a field full of free alternatives. COMPARISONS: WhatSize and OmniDiskSweer use a text-only approach that's fast and simple, but as I said above, I feel a graphic representation is more intuitive than a hierarchical list of folder/file sizes. GrandPerspective has nice graphics, but it's harder to navigate, and harder to get a good "big picture" view, and really needs a hierarchical list. DiskInventoryX is still the one to beat IMHO: similar graphic display as GrandPerspective, but it also has a hierarchical view — best of both worlds! (Version 1.2) |
