TREESIZE FOR UNIX ( http://treesize.sourceforge.net/ )

A disk consumption analyzing tool, which sorts folders according to theier physical occupied sizes. The perfect tool to help you obtaining more disk free space, on your harddrive, usb pen drive or even on network folders (provided that they are mounted and you have access to them, of course )

Just like du, it counts hard links just once and the space utilized by diferent filesystems are not added together.

About the "Open folder" pop up menu command
---------------------------------------------

One of the main objectives for TreeSize for Unix is to make it independent from any desktop (and therefore compatible with all of them). In other words, just standard system/desktop calls  are used on TreeSize for Unix. Unfortunatelly standards are a new thing on Unix, which mean they don't work (yet) everywhere. The standard way to open folders on Unix is calling a program called xdg-open, which comes from a package called xdg-util, published at http://www.freedesktop.org/. In order to open folders, this package must be installed. It is a pitty that in Gentoo, for example, it is still a masked package...
