qFSView

qFSView is a tool for showing disc utilization in a graphical form, much like the UNIX command 'du'. The visualisation type choosen is a treemap. Treemaps allow for showing metrics of objects in nested structures, like sizes of files and directories on your hard disc, where the the size of directories is defined to be the sum of the size of its children. Each object is represented by a rectangle which area is proportional to its metric. The metric must have the property that the sum of the children's metric of some object is equal or smaller than the objects metric. This holds true for the file/directory sizes in the use case of qFSView.

This is a fork of FSView which is a Konqueror plugin that depends on KDE.
