Product Description:

GrandPerspective is a small utility application for Mac OS X that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system. It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space. It uses a so called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file's size. Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary.

  • Improvements to filters (and masks):
    • All filters now have names that can be used to select them:

It crashes. Nothing comes up under "Preferences" Forget it. It's useless. I'm sticking with Disk Inventory X.

This is one of those rare programs that is not just useful but is a real pleasure to use - I certainly second Foobar1969's comment about its artistic merits. And each upgrade adds another worthwhile bit of functionality. Thanks for a great utility.

It takes a few minutes of mousing around the map to understand how this program displays things, but it makes sense after that and helps you sort your HD. Also the results look like avant garde art.
