QDirStat

QDirStat is a graphical application to show where your disk space has gone and to help you to clean it up.

This is a Qt-only port of the old Qt3/KDE3-based KDirStat, now based on the latest Qt 5. It does not need any KDE libs or infrastructure. It runs on every X11-based desktop on Linux, BSD and other Unix-like systems and of course in a Docker container.

Features

QDirStat has a number of new features compared to KDirStat. To name a few:

  • Multi-selection in both the tree and the treemap.

  • Unlimited number of user-defined cleanup actions.

  • Properly show errors of cleanup actions (and their output, if desired).

  • Configurable file categories (MIME types), treemap colors, exclude rules, tree columns.

  • Package manager support:

    • Show what software package a system file belongs to.
    • Packages View showing disk usage of installed software packages and their individual files.
    • Unpacked Files View showing what files in system directories do not belong to any installed software package.
  • New views:

    • Disk usage per file type (by filename extension).
    • File size histogram view.
    • File age view.
    • Free, used and reserved disk size for each mounted filesystem (like df)

    Tipi Specific Note

    By default, qDirStat will analyze the /runtipi/ directory, not the whole system that tipi is installed on!
