📂 Folder Analyst

This program is a storage visualiser that helps you to analyse the sub-folders and files of the folder you wish to scan.

Why I Built this

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.

Features

  • 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!.

Modules 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.

Note:

-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 :)

How to Use:

  • 1.Download FolderAnalyst.exe from the Releases page.
  • 2.Click Select Folder to choose a directory.
  • 3.Use the Open buttons in the list to navigate deeper into sub-folders.
  • 4.Hover over the Pie Chart slices to see specific file details!

About

This contains my python project on a program which uses Tkinter and Matplotlib to scan desired folders and get a good idea on how much size distribution of files wirthin the folder is . It is still under progress and I am working on new features.
