Great little program! - Version: 2.4.1b1, 9/21/2009 07:15AM PST

I have used DiskTracker for years now. It is simple, easy to use and, until recently, was pretty much bullet proof. Snow Leopard threw in some unexpected kinks, but the developer was very responsive to inquiry, got right on it, and we're now back in business. I don't agree with the previous reviewer that the interface needs to become more glitzy. When something works so well for the purpose intended and doesn't require an extensive manual to figure it out, why mess with it? Highly recommended.

Flaky for me under Os 10.5.2 on an Intel iMac... Some disk records disappear from list view and only show up if I reinsert the disk and update the record. Stated volume and directory sizes are also unreliable, eg a 5GB folder shows up as 1GB. Meanwhile, I have none of these problems in version 2.3 on a G4 PowerBook running Os 10.4.11. This is hardly progress.

When are they going to update the ancient UI? - Version: 2.4b6, 1/26/2008 12:00AM PST

I love this program for its simplicity and speed, have used it for years now, but when...GOD WHEN...are they going to upgrade the UI to current Mac standards? I appreciate the beta updates, for stability, but I'm really really REALLY tired of the crunchy "classic" font display and lack of icons. Even their website looks like it stopped somewhere in 1998. Hopefully there's a version 3 in the works?
