Bug tickets does not include 3.8.0 as Milestone value

Incorrect `log` command arg in "How to enable and view diagnostic logs" help page

GrandPerspective does not follow symlinks, as that does not help to get a good view of actual disk usage. However, every symlinked folder should be accessible also without following a symlink, so that does not explain why the app only finds a small subset of the actual files. I agree that the "symlink" detail does not explain the main problem. However, I want to clarify the symlink detail. I believe that GrandPerspective does not see any symlinks when it scans the file server volume. The client mounts...

I just performed an experiment: Run Ulbow app to collect logs. Set Predicate to '(subsystem="net.sf.grandperspectiv")'. Checked the menu option "Get Debug" (which refers to debug-level messages). I did not install the module which removes censorship from log messages. I then ran GrandPerspective 3.8.0 using this command: open /Applications/GrandPerspective.app --args -logAll YES The GrandPerspective app opened. I scanned the directory Documents/Pr/2026 on my local computer which is the origin for...

Thank you for the pointer to the logging capability of GrandPerspective 3.8.0. Very helpful! I used Howard Oakley's Ulbow app (https://eclecticlight.co/consolation-t2m2-and-log-utilities/) instead of the macOS log command, but it gives the same result. The log messages mark the path names as <private>, even when running GrandPerspective with --args -logAll YES, so I followed Oakley's instructions at https://eclecticlight.co/2023/03/08/removing-privacy-censorship-from-the-log/ to reveal them. The...

I tried this on a subdirectory of the same server volume. Again GrandPerspective failed to read in more than about 10% of the directory. The directory contains 499 GB of content, as measured by du -sh. The scan window in GrandPerspective showed only 42.1 GB. For what it's worth, du on the server-mounted directory yielded many du: cannot access errors. Also du perceives a circular directory structure. This is because the underlying file system has symlinks between directories which do form cycles,...

Scan of 1.52 TB server volume stops after 147 GB

I scanned a volume, and GrandPerspective displayed a view window. I searched for a word which I know appears in some directory and file names in that volume, by typing the word into the "Search" text box at the top right of the window. The entire contents of the view window began pulsing — the colours faded to whiter, then faded back to their original colour, then repeated, over and over. What is the meaning of this pulsing? What does it tell me about the files and folders which do have the search...
