GrandPerspective 1.3.3

GrandPerspective 1.1.0 is specifically designed for Mac OS X to graphically show 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 visualization. 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.

   • Select files and folders in the view

   • Exclude files and folders when scanning a disk
7. Multiple view support:
   • Re-scan a view to compare results before and after clean-up
   • Twin or duplicate a view for different displays of the same data
