A correctness release: the scan total is now right by default, and a long list of user-visible bugs found in an end-to-end audit are fixed.

Totals you can trust

The factory settings excluded .git, node_modules, DerivedData and .Trash and skipped every hidden entry, so a real 7.5 GB project scanned as 40 MB. Nothing is excluded now and hidden entries are counted; dependency and cache trees collapse into a single row instead of being dropped. Verified byte-for-byte against du, and against Finder on a full 880 GB volume.

Existing installs carried those old settings in their preferences, so a one-time migration resets them on first launch. A list you customised yourself is left alone.

Also fixed

  • The duplicate finder could report two different files as duplicates when they shared an on-disk size and their first 64 KB, so "Delete All Duplicates" could trash a distinct file.
  • Errors from scanning, saving, opening, comparing, exporting and trashing were recorded but never shown. They now appear as an alert.
  • A folder with a few hundred similar-size files drew an empty chart labelled "This folder contains no files".
  • Collapsed folders could be opened into an empty chart with no way back.
  • Purgeable space was reported as unreadable, and the Full Disk Access banner kept appearing after the grant was given (#24).
  • A scan finishing while a newer scan or archive load was in progress could overwrite the newer one.
  • Live refresh did its disk walk on the main thread and could bring back a folder that had just been trashed.
  • Symlinked folders such as /tmp failed with a raw error instead of scanning their target.
  • Chart labels overlapped and spilled past their arcs; the file list truncated names to three letters.
  • Smaller polish: readable selection in light mode, unit changes apply immediately, "1000.0 KB" now reads "1.0 MB", and more.
