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.

Font Wrangler

Alchemy Mindworks

Windows' facility for supporting TrueType fonts isn't really matched by its facilities for managing them. While few Windows users will have trouble keeping track of the handful of typefaces that come with Windows, there are innumerable sources of much more interesting fonts. If you install several hundred fonts in Windows, you'll probably find that keeping track of them using nothing more than the font management tools in the Windows control panel will become taxing at best. Simply installing new fonts is analogous to juggling live polecats in a dark room after midnight. Remembering what all your installed fonts look like is still more adventurous. Font Wrangler is the font manager that should have come with Windows. It will allow you to install and remove TrueType fonts in batches; preview fonts before you install them; browse downloaded font files; view font copyright information; change the names of fonts to resolve naming conflicts and print font "contact sheets."
