FILELIGHT(1)
NAME
filelight - graphically display disk usage
SYNOPSIS
filelight [ path ]
DESCRIPTION
filelight allows you to understand exactly where your disk space is
being used by graphically representing your file system as a set of
concentric segmented rings, where each segment subtends an angle proportional to the disk space occupied by that file or directory.
- You can specify a directory to scan on startup at the command line eg:
- filelight /home/mxcl
- Starting at the root requires a scan of the entire directory tree, which may take a while.
- filelight is available in Konqueror under View | View Mode | RadialMap View.
RUN-TIME COMMANDS
- Hover over segments
- to find out more about the region of the file system it represents.
- Click on directories
- to see them in more detail (recenter the display on that directory).
- Click on files
- to launch in the appropriate viewer (as configured in Konqueror).
- Middle click
- to open files/directories with Konqueror.
- Right click on the center white circle
- to manipulate the directory the view is centered about.
- Enlarge the window
- for more detail - small files are hidden at smaller window sizes.
