even now years after updates still works perfectly well
Great program, i use it very often. One feature i'd like to request: progress indication. It might be difficult to know total number of files until it's counted, but progress can be determined by computing total size of files scanned and compare it to disk usage. It would be good to see a progress bar near count of files scanned.
Nice application, but still not perfect. When I delete or remove some file using the Filelight, it should recalculate the graph without reading all data again. In the program called scanner for Windows (http://www.steffengerlach.de/freeware/scn2.zip) it works perfect. Second problem is with the line used to write address to be scanned. When I write there something like /usr/src/ it works ok, but if I want scan smb://192.168.1.1/data the program try to scan /home/user/smb://192.168.1.1/data
This should be integrated in Dolphin as view beside icons, details and columns. Filelight is one of the usefullst features i ever have seen. Please dont waste it. Port it to KDE4 and integrate it into dolphin. This would increase the popularity extremly. greetings him
Hi! Is this program going to be available for KDE4? PS: I love your program. PPS: GiB/MiB is ok.
RULES!!!
The Concept is really nice and handy. Thumbs Up! Thx 4 this.

Very nice, very handy!! Just one minor thing, for some reason you have stuck an 'i' in GB, making it GiB which is not needed.
Yeah, I'll probably change it, no need to be confusing for puritan reasons. Anyway the justification for GiB/MiB is poor.
Well, there is a 'i' in Giga-Byte, but where is a 'i' in Mega-Byte?
Follow the URL in my previous comment. It's nothing to do with the spelling it's to do with the unit standards defined by the Scientific Institute.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibibyte I almost agree with you, but the prevalence of GiB is increasing, and I am a scientist.
This gets printed when running from konsole: *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xb66c6e80 *** KCrash: Application 'filelight' crashing...
I've emailed the patch that fixes the bug that leads to crash on exit to filelight's developers. Here it is: [BEGIN PATCH - part.cpp.diff] --- part.cpp 2004-11-23 23:58:51.000000000 +0300 +++ part.cpp.fixed 2006-06-22 23:52:17.000000000 +0400 @@ -170,8 +170,11 @@ KAboutData* Part::createAboutData() { - static KAboutData about( APP_NAME, I18N_NOOP( APP_PRETTYNAME ), VERSION ); - return &about; + //static KAboutData about( APP_NAME, I18N_NOOP( APP_PRETTYNAME ), VERSION ); + //return &about; + + KAboutData* about = new KAboutData( APP_NAME, I18N_NOOP( APP_PRETTYNAME ), VERSION ); + return about; } bool [END PATCH - part.cpp.diff] Apply it: cd [filelight_source_dir]/src/part patch part.cpp part.cpp.diff
Same behaviour here. :( Maybe a double-free or something.
this is one of the greatest programs! thank you very much!
and thanks to raoul for providing suse 10 rpm!
I'm really impressed by this program, it's incredibly useful. Having a small problem if I load filelight view up in Konqueror, then right click on a cell and choose to open in Konqueror, the whole thing crashes. Can provide the full data if required. Does anyone else find this? three cheers to the dev!
further to this problem, every time I exit filelight it crashes! can post full crash details if desired..
filelight-1.0b6-S10K35.i586.rpm at http://home.tiscali.be/raoul.linux/downloadSuSE10.0.htm ENJOY !!!
configure fails on qt, even if you give the qt-dir, qt-includes and qt-libs...I am using suse 10 with the latest qt3.
I'd love to try this program out too, but the download link to get the bzip2 tarball is broken!
Blimey, it's been broken for sooo long. Now fixed, thanks for heads-up.
Hi, this is a VERY nice tool! I use it very often :) Thanks a lot for this.
