- Kosher Dill is a simple utility for managing disk usage. It
- provides a graphical representation of the system "du" command,
- along with drag&drop facilities for exploring, compressing
- and removing files.
-
- Directory names are entered into the "Directory" entry near the
- top of the main window. Pressing return in this window invokes
- a query of disk usage ("du") for this directory. Results are
- displayed in the "Usage" message near the top of the window.
- In addition, a %%
- hyperhelp_link "graphical display" Display
- %% is generated showing relative
- usage for all immediate sub-directories and files.
-
- Elements in this display are available for %%
- hyperhelp_link "drag&drop" DragDrop
- %% operation.
- Files can be dropped on the following targets:
-

- Different combinations of these options are useful in different
- circumstances. When exploring to find large directories, the
- following settings are useful:
-
- EXPLORING DIRECTORIES:
- - By Size
- - Files in Local Directory
- - All Files
-
- This presents a hierarchical view of directories, showing the
- largest ones near the top of the list. Each directory, in turn,
- can be explored this way.
-
- When searching for the largest and oldest single files to be
- deleted, the following settings are useful:
-
- SEARCHING FOR BIG FILES:
- - By Age
- - Files in All Directories
- - Only "Significant" Files
-
- Such a listing may take a while to process, but when it appears,
- it will contain a number of good candidates (core files, etc.)
- for removal.
