    SpaceSniffer

    SpaceSniffer

    Uderzo Software

    SpaceSniffer is a freeware (donations are welcome) and portable tool application that lets you understand how folders and files are structured on your disks. By using a Treemap visualization layout, you have an immediate perception of where big folders and files are placed on your devices. The Treemap concept was invented by Prof. Ben Shneiderman, who kindly permitted the use of his concept in this tool. Start a scan process and see the overall situation. The bigger the elements on the view, the bigger are folders and files on your disk. Do you need more detail on a big folder? Just single click on it. The selected element will be detailed with its content. If you need to understand why no more free space is left on media, keep following bigger elements. Maybe you want to focus only on particular file types. Just type the file type on the filter field and press enter. The view will react and show you only JPEG files.

    TotalFinder

    TotalFinder

    TotalFinder

    TotalFinder for Mac users who demand more from their Finder. TotalFinder works like the normal Finder but adds tabs, dual panels, colored labels, and other features. Please keep in mind that TotalFinder is an add-on that gets loaded into the Finder when you launch TotalFinder.app. It does not modify your Finder files on the disk. TotalFinder is installed as a standalone application. But when launched it changes the current instance of Finder running in memory. I call this process TotalFinder injection into Finder. Due to the nature of how TotalFinder works, there is always a minor risk that TotalFinder might break with future Finder updates. Our entire team uses TotalFinder on a daily basis so we spot problems very quickly. So far, Finder updates have generally introduced minor changes. I am also a member of Apple’s Developer Program and have access to pre-release versions of system updates. I am committed to keeping TotalFinder compatible with Apple’s updates.
