<h2>Coupling of the Views</h2>
<p>The really strong point of WinDirStat is, that the three views, Directory List,
Extension List and Treemap, are coupled with each other.
</p>
<h3>Directory List -> Treemap</h3>
<p>When you <i>select</i> an item (directory or file) in the directory list, the
treemap also shows this item by highlighting it with a colored frame. In
particular you can see the size of directories.
</p>
<h3>Treemap -> Directory List</h3>
<p>When you click into the treemap, the mouse always hits a file (a colored
rectangle). After that the directory list expands (if necessary) the
appropriate nodes and selects this file. So you can, e.g. by clicking on a big
rectangle, see path and attributes of the corresponding big file in the
directory list.
</p>
<p>So, because of this mutual coupling, the selections in the directory list and in
the treemap are always the same.
</p>
<h3>Directory List + Treemap -> Extension List</h3>
<p>When you select a <i>file</i> in the directory list (or in the treemap), the
extension list shows the file type (the extension). The extension is selected
and scrolled into view. So you can see the description and the
statistics for this file type.
