Moleskinsoft’s file utility

Today we’ll talk about Directory Size, the program allowing to analyze occupied disk space and visualise disk usage. The program answers 3 questions:

What size does the directory have?

Which are the largest files and folders on your PC or in a particular directory?

Files of what types are kept on the computer, what is their size and number?

Thus, the program shows how the disk space is distributed in folders and files, their structure, mutual relation, submission and communication, as well as a number of the basic characteristics – size, extension, etc.

For simplification of the analysis the program navigation is constructed by a principle of “windows”. It means that Directory Size is broken into 4 windows each of which carries out the function adhered to the next window function. The navigation begins with bottom left window and goes clockwise concretizing the maintenance of the previous one. The exception is the first window which independently also carries out help function. In it you’ll learn about cumulative distribution of drive space (size and free size).

The following window allows to choose a folder or a directory for analysis carrying out (Scan selected drive or Scan folder). Besides in this window you receive the basic representation about the structure of this directory thanks to the tree of folders representing all structural communications and the relations of folders and their size (by default in megabytes).

If you wish to learn more detailed information on structure, address to the following window of the program – top left one. In this the detailed information is presented on the chosen folder. The information includes data about the structure of files, their size, quantity, parity, dale in the chosen directory. Thanks to the Reports option it is possible to obtain the concentrated data about other components. Actually – each time to build a new picture of disk space usage on various factors –size, extension, file owner, creation time. And also to create “ratings” - the newest/old files, the greatest ones etc.

The last window – bottom left one – allows to receive evident representation about disk space distribution thanks to powerful graphic tool: schedules, diagrammes, etc.

The post name is not casual. Today we shall talk about dialogue mode, i.e. about the feature thanks to which Clone Remover has reached such popularity among PC users.

The dialogue mode is such mode of the program at which user’s work with the program is formed on the basis of joint dialogue in which the user sets “questions” and the program “answers” them. Desirable performance of those or other commands are the “questions”, their performance or offers on performance are the “answers”.

From this point of view, some notice, all programs can be considered to be dialogue, after all their work with the user, they speak, is formed on similar principles. I’d disagree with such opinion. Usually it’s a program which has “force”. To find the necessary command or to execute any function it is necessary to spend a lot of time and nerves. Especially if it is about the software titans having a multifunctional purpose.

“Dialogue” programs are much closer to the user. They do not force him to run in search of necessary commands or options. They build system of command management in such order and with such structure which would be most convenient and obvious to the user. As a result of the management the menu turns to the user-focused navigation working by a principle of interactivity and associativity. The program as though knows what is your following step (it is deduced associatively, from the logic of your search) and suggests to make it in advance. As a result the program work comes nearer to the user so that it is possible to speak about their joint (or dialogue) work.

In Clone Remover the dialogue interactive mode is realized in the form of tree-like structure which assumes various variants of the choice of this or that action. For example, if you wish to remove duplicate files you choose one option; if to open the list of duplicates from a file you choose another, etc. On each step you will accompany the possibility of alternative choice from set of kinds of activity in the chosen direction so the navigation in the program for each user will be individual.

Probably you have already noticed the unusual structure of Directory Size – four windows consistently connected with each other and giving the information that is necessary for disk space analysis. Moving clockwise on these windows you can receive the necessary information. We’ll begin with the first window – at the left below.

In this window there is a general information of disk space distribution – the size of the drives and a free space in gigabytes and percents.

The second window located above is a preparatory basis for the disk space analysis. With its help you can choose a necessary directory for search (Scan folder), and this can be both an usual folder and a drive. In this window there is also tree of folders which represents all folders entering into the chosen directory, with the size of the next level folders. Having pressed a “plus” you receive the information on these folders (of course if they present). Thus, this window models the functions of your conductor for the disk space allowing to receive information about all folders in the chosen directory, their size, structure, etc.

The third window clears up the previous one. While the second represents the information on the folders this is about all the files included into the chosen folder. Besides it is a central program window, as it is it in which the basic information is presented on your disk space. In this window you receive the information on files, their size (in percents and bytes – kilobytes, megabytes or gigabytes depending on your choice) as well as files and folders of the next level. The powerful program analytical tool will allow to process and analyze the information how you’d like: to filter (for example, by extension or size); to sort by extension, size or creation date; to create lists of “best” - for example, 100 greatest files. Special options will allow displaying all files including from subfolders by certain criterion.

The last window serves for the visualization of the received results. In this you can receive the evident information on disk space distribution between files both in a bar and a pie. Here you can choose the gradient scheme of the background and the graphics.

Working with Directory Size, take pleasure in ease and convenience.

As practice shows disk space monitoring still occupies today a lot of unproductive time. Occupied disk space analysis is often made manually: user comes into the Guide and through a tree of folders and files estimates PC folder structure. The user forgets that a lot of things remains outside of his research. Meanwhile, decision-making depends on correct monitoring and diagnostics of disk space: whether to delete files, to re-structure occupied disk space having moved files from one directories in others and etc. For the decision of all the questions professional disk space monitoring tool can be used only. At a choice of such means try to adhere to the following basic councils.

Friendly interface. Any program begins with the interface. This is that the user cooperates with and meets at program start. Choosing disk space analysis tool pay attention how much friendly its interface is. The best variant is if the maximum of options and commands is visualized and located in corresponding places than in the panel of tools. The panel of tools should be compact and user-friendly containing only the most basic options. The general rule is less words and menus, more visual images and pictures. Besides don’t forget about convenience of command location.

Functionality. A good disk space usage analysis tool should have all necessaries for the analysis and management of occupied disk space. Firstly in the program the technology of evident representation of directory structure (usually the tree of folders) should be realized. The secondly the powerful analytical toolkit for the analysis of directories and files should be done: the analysis of size, type, formation time and another. Disk space analysis tool should be able to sort the obtained data effectively, to apply the flexible filter for data elimination, to represent the received results visually (schedules, diagrammes etc.). Remember using the program you should see the computer as on a palm.

Support and help tool. Prefer programs in which there is an interactive user support. For example having sent corresponding inquiry you can always get necessary support. It will be good if it is possible to read all the program information on the program site.

Hi!

After half-month holiday we’re returning to say about out programs, their possibilities and many other interesting things. Today we talk about Directory Size.

As known a modern computer is a very difficult system for management. But, as well as any system, the computer has own structure filled with numerous interrelations and hierarchies of elements – files and folders. It is uneasy to understand this system as there may be hundred thousands of only files. And there are many files being absolutely useless for you and the system but occupying the disk space. Besides, a lot of useful files are located in directories, to which they shouldn’t belong on sense (for example AVI files in Music folder). A new Moleskinsoft disk usage analyzer – Directory Size will help you to understand all these and other subtleties of the disk space organization.

Perhaps, this disk analyzer is the best one in the market. Let’s see. In the program there is a simple menu panel; all other commands are carried out in visual and user-friendly mode. The disk usage analyzer has convenient structure of windows moving on which it is possible to receive the demanded result. In the first window you receive a tree of folders and directories, in the second one – detailed structure of the analyzed folder (structure, size, quantity of files etc.), in the third one – graphic data presentation. The fourth window of disk analyzer works as a reference book and shows a current condition of the drives.

The disk usage analyzer has the powerful tool of data analysis. Besides calculation of size, creation time and file owner this tool includes sorting of data according to the different bases (for example extension), the data filter (on mask, size and file owner). For fans of visual data presentation the disk analyzer allows to change schedules and diagrammes of disk usage to their taste. You can always keep the received results as CSV, TXT or HTML files.
