altWinDirStat

Posted on 2015-03-02 by Oliver

Only recently I learned of a fork of WinDirStat on Github named altWinDirStat. You folks may want to check it out. I hope in mid to long term we can join forces rather than having the code bases diverge. // … Continue reading →

Posted on 2013-12-01 by Oliver

After getting another request to create and offer a PAD file, I looked into the process again. There’s an online generator software at this address. I was using that to enter my data. When I was done filling in the … Continue reading →

For anyone who uses premake4 and needs an up-to-date binary

Posted on 2013-08-13 by Oliver

A code-signed binary can be found here. You can pick any of the .exe files there, they should be code-signed. If not, let me know. I also include detached PGP signatures (the .asc files) and the latest build will always … Continue reading →

MFT again

Posted on 2009-09-07 by Oliver

In order to implement this feature, there is a clear tradeoff: memory. The memory usage will, at least temporarily, spike more than it currently does. However, given that Microsoft surely has put a lot of thought into the structure of … Continue reading →

MFT woes …

Posted on 2009-08-24 by Oliver

Just a few comments on my progress. As it appears there is no way to get access to a volume unless one has administrator rights (or – presumably – the volume ACL was changed?). That, of course, creates the problem … Continue reading →

I dislocated my right shoulder a few days ago and will therefore not reply to emails or work on WDS in the next three weeks – minimum. Update: I’ll undergo orthopedic surgery on 27th of April, which will most likely … Continue reading →

More FOSS-like release-cycle

Posted on 2009-03-30 by Oliver

When the project was still under Bernhard’s rule, he was always going to release only versions that had passed his test plan. I hope to break this tradition soon and release more often and release earlier. My goal is to … Continue reading →

Oh boy … (update)

Posted on 2009-03-16 by Oliver

The migration to Subversion apparently did have some cost attached to it. Just found out that for whatever reason the resource scripts have been garbled. Hmpf … Update: Actually the culprit must have been one of the editors used two/three … Continue reading →

Update (… detected as trojan)

Posted on 2007-12-01 by Oliver

Argh … WinDirStat detected as trojan

Posted on 2007-11-17 by Oliver

STOPzilla, an antispyware is catching the most current WDS installation package as Zlob.YU. While one should never take this too light-hearted, the first reaction of the user who contacted me was of course rather in the direction of an accusation. … Continue reading →

Juggling files? Try this …

Posted on 2007-06-26 by Oliver

I have to confess, I fell in love recently. Sounds weird? Right, it gets even more weird if I tell you that I fell in love with a file manager. The file manager is called Speed Commander (SC) and I … Continue reading →
