Description

        Well, if you've ever looked at a hard drive that said "8,205 bytes free" and wondered which folder was taking up so much space, then this utility is for you. By entering the folder name at the command line of PieDir, it will look at all the files in that folder, and tell you what percent are located in that folder. Installed, it will have a quick right-click access on drives and directories to get to PieDir.

History

  • 6/14/2000 - Version 2.0 released. New features include:
    • More colors, so directories with a lot of subdirectories won't reuse the same colors.
    • Better color contrast - both to tell some wedges apart as well as making the black text more readable.
    • Commas make it much easier to read the directory sizes.
    • Small wedge fix - small size wedges (those < 0.1%) could draw over the rest of the circle... I no longer draw such small wedges.
    • Sorted percentages - so you can quickly see which directory is the largest and taking up all that space.
  • 9/28/99 - Version 1.0 released.

Known Bugs

  • File or directory sizes over 4GB will do funny things. To be corrected in an upcoming version.
  • PieDir will not show anything while reading the files on the drive.

Future Additions

  • A split window, with folder lists to the left, so you can "browse."

"Jam" Software seems to have done something quite similar to this... http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/index.shtml
I guess that means that I don't have to update much more.
