It shows disk, file and directory sizes in a treelist +as well as graphically in a treemap, much like KDirStat and Sequoiaview. + + +============================================================================= +WinDirStat is an application written in Visual C++ using MFC 7.0. +It runs on MS Windows (9x, NT, 2000, XP). + +It shows where all your disk space is gone and helps you clean it up. + +Design and many details are based on KDirStat (kdirstat.sourceforge.net). +WinDirStat is "a KDirStat re-programmed for MS Windows". + +The directory tree is simultanously shown as a treelist and as a treemap. +One can effortlessly gain an impression of the proportions on the hard disk(s). + +Major features: +* 3 views, Directory tree, Treemap and Extension list, coupled with each other, +* Built-in cleanup actions including Open, Delete, Show Properties, +* User defined cleanup actions (command line based), +* Language can be set to English or German; further translations can be added + as resource DLLs, +* Online-Help, +* A little setup.exe which installs the files and shortcuts. + + + +============================================================================= +This is a Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 2003 - Project. +Apart from CString::AppendFormat() I didn't use any MFC 7.0 specific features. +So this project can easily be ported to Visual Studio 6.0. + +Projects included in the workspace +---------------------------------- +setup -> setup.exe +wdsh0407 -> German Helpfile wdsh0407.chm +wdshelp -> English Helpfile windirstat.chm +wdsr0407 -> German Resource DLL wdsr0407.dll +windirstat -> windirstat.exe (including English resources). + +The Microsoft redistributable file shfolder.dll is also included. + +I've commented +- every source file +- every class +- every data member. + +I haven't commented most member functions, maybe because my working English +is not so good (I mostly would have duplicated the function name). + + +============================================================================= +How to create a resource dll. + +* Determine the language id xx und sub-language id yy as defined in winnt.h. + +* Create a new project wdsrxxyy.dll: Visual C++ Project + - Win 32 Project - Dll - empty project. + +* Copy windirstat.rc, resource.h and res/*.* into the + wdsrxxyy-Folder respective the res-subfolder. + +* In the linker options - advanced set Resource Only DLL to Yes. + +* In Text Include 3 adjust the LANGUAGE + +* Remove the manifest and the Versioninfo + +* Translate the rc-File + +* Note that the string IDS_RESOURCEVERSION (currently = "Resource Version 1") + must not be changed, otherwise the resource dll is not accepted + by windirstat.exe. + This version string may be changed in future versions of windirstat, if + the resources must be changed, too. + +============================================================================= + +I'm distributing the ANSI variant.
