Publisher's Description
From The Omni Group:
OmniDiskSweeper is a great tool for making space on Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server and Mac OS 9 disks.
When you start OmniDiskSweeper, it presents you with a list of disks attached to your machine. You double-click on one, and a new window opens with a browser listing every file and directory on that disk, sorted by size. This is very fast for HFS+ partitions: it takes about seven seconds to process one gigabyte. UFS partitions are significantly slower.
Then you browse through the files and directories, and delete the large ones that you aren't using any more. The free space on the disk and the ordering of the directories are automatically recalculated. If you aren't sure what's in a file, you can double-click it or drag it onto an app on it to open it. It's that simple!
What's new in this version: Updated the French help localization.

"See where all your disk space has gone."
Version: OmniDiskSweeper 1.7.2
Pros
Shows you your volume sizes, allows you to delete offending huge files. It will even do network volumes.
Cons
Kind of slow.
Summary
There is a much faster utility called "What Size" but it they charge you a nominal fee. Considering this is free, I can wait. Must have utility! Omnigroup has an array of beautifully designed, no compromise Mac apps that you really need to take a look at.

In leopard it frequently crashes when the user is displaying different parts of the directory.
Summary
Excellent display that provides unique information about disk utilization marred by an operational problem associated with Leopard..

Version: OmniDiskSweeper 1.7.2
Pros
Shows you the actual size of all the files/folders on your drive, including hidding files/folders.

Takes a little while to do each scan/analysis. If you use File Vault, you have to scan your home directory separately. Doesn't help with cleaning out old pref files, etc.
