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.
What's new in this version:
Minor improvements:
- Added number of scanned and deleted files to Info panel
- Added Rescan button to toolbar
- Rescan can now optionally close the old window
- Added context menu to views to let you Reveal, Open and Delete selected files
- Added ability to store user-editable comments with saved scan data
- Scan data is now stored in files with a .gpscan extension
- These files have their own icon and filetype, and are associated with the application
- You can now invoke the application from the command line with:
- a path of a folder to scan, or
- a path of a scan data file to load
- Added various advanced "How To" sections to the help documentation
- Fixed bug #2562846: Failure to load scan data
- Incorrect saving of scan data in OS X 10.4 should be fixed now
- Freed space did not correctly reflect deletion of hard-linked files

- Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

Just keeps getting better - Version: 1.1.0, 9/27/2009 01:00AM PST

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.
Nice replacement for Disk Inventory X - Version: 0.9.12.1, 6/16/2008 08:01AM PST

I used Disk Inventory X for years to do exactly what this application does. I figured it would only be a matter of time before DIX broke with the latest OS, since it appears to be no longer in development. To DIX's credit it has worked flawlessly with every system from Jaguar to Leopard. GrandPerspective appears to be a worthy successor, with a few more useful features and a chance that user feedback and requests may actually make into the application.
Nice work!
Nice work!
