Analyze directories for the space occupied on a hard drive.
Have you ever wondered what files and directories are there taking up space in your hard drive. Directory Analyzer is a simple analyzing tool for directories, which shows its contents in a pie chart format. It makes it easy for you to know which directory is taking how much space.
once the program has loaded, scanning of my root folders went reasonably quick.
<p>the pie graph of directory scanned was concise, and there were comments detailing the folder/file name, size, and percentage of total directory size for each slice of the pie. below that was a list detailing all of the sub-directories and files, along with their respective sizes
Cons
when DA loads, it scans the A:\ drive looking for a disk, regardless of Windows' reporting of there being a disk in there or not.
<p>when there are too many files/directories in the pie graph the comments overlap and all except the topmost can become unreadable.
<p>DA doesn't use Windows' interface scheme, whatever it may be, and responds horribly to Windows XP's transparency ability.
<p>finally, when you scan a directory, the directory's path gets copied to the windows clipboard automatically, regardless of there being something already in the clipboard or not, and when the program is unloaded, the clipboard's contents isn't restored
