• WinDirStat – Windows Directory Statistics

  The same dev has an Everything alternative: WizFile [1] [1]: https://antibody-software.com/wizfile/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Open-Shell: A collection of utilities bringing back classic features to Windows

  Windows search has been broken for a _long_ time. Agent Ransack¹ is one of the first things I add to a fresh Windows install. Soon after some unix-a-like ports go on too (usually via cygwin) so I can use find, grep, and friends. For filename based search on NTFS volumes, WizFile² is useful too as it scans the MTF instead of navigating the directory structure bit-by-bit which can be significantly faster no matter... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• “My long goodbye to Windows XP” (2022)

  If filenames are the issue, use https://antibody-software.com/wizfile/ WizFile (free for personal use) or https://www.voidtools.com/ Everything (free). - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Organize / Visualize files as Graph or Table using their folder structure

  There is WizTree and WizFile, but for the ability to look something up specifically via WizFile then you'd have to add it to the file name, which isn't ideal. WizTree is rather useful though. Https://diskanalyzer.com/ Https://antibody-software.com/wizfile/. Source: over 2 years ago

• AltWinDirStat

  The developer of WizTree also makes WizFile for instant fast file search. https://antibody-software.com/wizfile/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Ncdu – NCurses Disk Usage

  Have been using ncdu for more than a decade, and recently started using diskonaut for similar purposes. Was looking for a terminal-based treemap visualization for analyzing disk usage and stumbled upon diskonaut, which is exactly that. https://github.com/imsnif/diskonaut. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Best way to find directories that are filling up my partition?

  My favorite tool for this is diskonaut -- it's quicker than repeatedly running du and pleasant to use. Source: over 2 years ago

• Manage Disk Usage from the Terminal

  For a visual person like me, diskonaut is especially useful. It draws the space in rectangles on the screen that you can navigate into. If you resize the terminal it redraws the boxes. Source: over 2 years ago

• AltWinDirStat

  Https://github.com/imsnif/diskonaut It's in Rust, which I don't code, but it is if anyone cares about such things. It works fast, is easy to use, and looks pretty. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• How to learn Rust by own tiny applications?

  A lot of unix-y tools have been rewritten in rust, where the usefulness comes from it being faster or having more features. Examples: bat, cw, lsd, ripgrep, diskonaut, gping. Maybe you could find an interesting program to rewrite? Source: over 3 years ago
