Visit it WinDirStat blog for more information about the program.
The application, when launched, reads the entire directory tree and then presents it in three useful opinions:
- The directory list, which is similar to the Windows Explorer tree view, but sorted by file size.
- TreeMap, which shows all the contents of the directory tree at once,
- The extension list, a graph showing statistics about file types.
TreeMap represents each file as a colored rectangle, the extent of which is proportional to the size of the file.
