Disk Usage Analyzer is a graphical disk usage analyzer for GNOME. It was part of GNOME Core Applications, [2] but was split off for GNOME 3.4. 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. [3] 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. [4] 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. [5]

Contents

In 2012, [6] [7] Disk Usage Analyzer was rewritten in Vala. [8]

Future

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. [9] [10]
