Product Description:

OmniDiskSweeper is a great tool for making space on Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server and Mac OS 9 disks.

When you start OmniDiskSweeper, it presents you with a list of disks attached to your machine. You double-click on one, and a new window opens with a browser listing every file and directory on that disk, sorted by size. This is very fast for HFS+ partitions: it takes about seven seconds to process one gigabyte. UFS partitions are significantly slower.

Then you browse through the files and directories, and delete the large ones that you aren't using any more. The free space on the disk and the ordering of the directories are automatically recalculated. If you aren't sure what's in a file, you can double-click it or drag it onto an app on it to open it. It's that simple!

At least it didn't crash - Version: 1.7, 2/25/2009 04:37PM PST

After having crashes with the prior version I had given up. I was glad to see a new version. I fired it up and it didn't crash. I selected a previous system from early last year and clicked on the delete icon. I confirmed and after 1/2 hour nothing had happened except the trashing message was still there. I then quit OmniDiskSweeper. As a test I selected the same folder in Finder, hit command delete, command shift delete and the trash is still being emptied as I type. In fairness, Finder takes a long tome as well. I should note that TM is running. I will try another test after some other brave soul takes the point.

Just downloaded the 1.7 version to use with my iMac running Leopard v.10.56. No problems with download, easy install & very quick indexing of my 250Gb HD. Excellent ordered listing of every items file size. Very useful & free too.

Wayyyyy too expensive, considering its limited function - Version: 1.6.1 beta 1, 9/26/2008 11:48AM PST

$14.95 for this one-trick pony? To do something I can do myself using the Finder? Greedy, greedy, greedy.
