Baobab - Disk Analysis tool in openSUSE (GNOME/KDE4)

Posted by admin on 11th November 2008

Baobab can easily scan either the whole filesystem tree, or a specific user-requested directory branch either on the local system or on a remote system.

Baobab also provides a full graphical treemap window for each selected folder.
