space_hogger_logger is a command-line tool that is similar to Daisy Disk.
space_hogger_logger, or "shlogger" for short, recursively runs through
directories specified in the default_paths.txt and produces a list of all the
files, sorted by file size, within those directories. Files at the bottom of
the list are the largest and are considered space hoggers.
Additional user-defined paths can be specified in a file in the follow directories:
- Linux:
/home/USERNAME/.local/share/The Lyons' Den Labs/shlogger_extra_paths.txt - macOS:
/Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/The Lyons' Den Labs/shlogger_extra_paths.txt - Windows:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming/The Lyons' Den Labs/shlogger_extra_paths.txt
Example:
In the shlogger_extra_paths.txt file on macOS:
/Users/josephlyons/Dropbox
...Note: Running the application once will automatically create the
shlogger_extra_paths.txtfile and all needed parent directories.
space_hogger_logger is not held accountable for any bugs that may result in file loss or corruption. space_hogger_logger uses only the Rust std library function calls and one third-party crate (directories) to find paths and run through files / directories; there is no custom code written to deal with those tasks, so as long as the std library code and the third-party crate are both solid and dependable, then there shouldn't be any issues. I've not had a single issue with the tool on my machine, but I've not tested it elsewhere.
It should be noted that space_hogger_logger does not save any information, it merely prints file paths, and their associated file size, to the terminal window.
