Overview

The QDirStat project proudly presents its latest release: QDirStat 1.8.

This is a stable release. It brings a some new features and bug fixes:

  • New view: File Age Statistics

  • Navigation history like in a web browser (Back, Forward)

  • Bug fixes

  • Some small improvements

Details

New view: File Age Statistics

This shows the number of files per year and/or per month that were last modified in that year or month, together with the total size of those files and a percent bar for both (number and total size).

This view is extensively documented in the File Age Statistics Document.

Navigation History

This implements a navigation history for directories like in a web browser:

  • New buttons Back / Forward in the tool bar

  • Standard keyboard shortcuts [Alt] [Cursor Left] /
    [Alt] [Cursor Right] like in all common web browsers

  • Support for Back / Forward mouse buttons if the mouse has them

  • History menu on those buttons (long press on the buttons) for the last 16 directories

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed GitHub issue #169:
    Shorten path components in the breadcrumb widget for insanely long paths.

  • Now closing a left-over Permissions error panel when refreshing from disk: After the re-read, the permissions error may no longer be there.

Other Improvements

  • In the Mounted Filesystems window, don't show inactive mounts managed by the automounter anymore.

  • In the Open Directory window, automatically open the first directory level if a path was clicked in the Places list on the left, and scroll the tree on the right so that path is at the top.

  • Added a little margin to the left in the main window's tree view for the Size column so it looks now less cramped.

  • Internal restructuring and refactoring to keep the code maintainable.
