Disk Usage Analyzer is a graphical disk usage analyzer for GNOME. It is part of GNOME Core Applications. It was originally named Baobab after the Adansonia tree. The software gives the user a menu-driven, graphical representation of what is on a disk drive.[1] The interface allows for selection of specific parts of filesystem being scanned so a single folder, the entire filesystem, and even remote folders and filesystems can be scanned.[2] The graphical representation can be switched between a ring chart and a treemap chart so the presentation can be tailored to the specific content being scanned.[3]
In 2012,[4][5] Disk Usage Analyzer was rewritten in Vala.[6]
Future
[edit]At the GNOME Users And Developers European Conference (GUADEC) in 2013, a plan to merge the Disk Usage Analyzer with gnome-system-monitor to a new program called Usage was presented.[7][8]
