This program is a storage visualiser that helps you to analyse the sub-folders and files of the folder you wish to scan.
I wanted a way to visualise the storage share of a particular folder to .to get a clear breakdown of which specific files or sub-folders are consuming the most disk space.
- Drill Down Navigation : This program uses '.scan()' to visualise and scan one level at a time , putting less pressure on the hardware.
- Visualising Pie Graph (Interactable) : This program generates pie graph which shows information of the storage used by all files in a folder and shows information on the head by hovering your mouse over the slices.
- Portable: This program has been compiled and turned into '.exe' file which requires no python installation to be used!.
- OS module: To scan the folders.
- DateTime module: To make the modified time readable.
- Matplotlib module: To generate graphs.
- Tkinter module: To make the GUI to make it user friendly.
- Pyinstaller: To make it portable and standalone.
-As this is an unsigned executable built with PyInstaller, Windows Defender may flag it as a 'False Positive.' The source code is provided above for full transparency :)
