Directory Size - disk analysis tool
First of all, let’s define what is analysis and the disk analysis in particular.
The analysis is a process of mental division of object in components, the revealing of structural communications between them, as well as the functions they carry out in system. In computer systems the disk space analysis has the distinctive features:
1. The object of the analysis is the disk and the elements located in it (like files, folders, directories, etc.).
2. First of all they are not functional features of elements (although it is also important) that are analyzed but quantitative parameters. For example, they are volume, the share at the rate of a higher level directory, etc.
3. The basic method of the analysis is structural: the disk is analyzed as a complex system including separate elements, communications between elements, included folders, etc.
4. As the disk is a very complex system, the most effective way of the analysis is with the use of software.
As you have guessed, we will talk about the last feature – about disk analysis tools.
In spite of the fact that there are a lot of such means which are created, there are not a lot of them which can be named effective. Directory Size is one of them.
As a disk analysis tools Directory Size solves at once some problems. Let’s talk about them more in detail.
1. Search and work with the directory which the user wants to analyze.
2. The tree of the folders included in the learned directory.
3. The analysis of the distribution between separate elements in the directory (folders, files) on size, extension, the share in the volume of directory (in percentage), the quantity of the files which are the part of folders (only for folders), etc.
4. Filter and sorting of data – under name, size, extension, etc.
5. Visual data presentation in the form of diagrams.
I have listed the only primary goals. Actually there are more than them. However, disk analysis tools is interesting by not only those problems which it solves. The program has very convenient interface which allows users to feel themselves as at home. Moreover, the interface of the disk analysis tools is conveniently structured, and the work in this program is spent in windows clockwise: beginning from the bottom left window.
Is it easy to work with the disk analysis tools? Easy. Surprisingly, but Directory Size is engaged in the performance of enough difficult tasks like the disk space analysis, but thus it is very simple and accessible for any user. Starting the program you can begin to work at once not wasting time on the learning of the complex menu.
