Hi Michael.

I use this tool to quickly and easily find the largest memory consumers on my hard drives. I have e.g. Samba run as a file server where there are always many files quickly. With this tool it is possible for me to find the biggest memory hogs very quickly. It can search directly in the whole system or in individual folders. It is also very pleasant that the tool shows everything in a tree hierarchy, which speeds up the search enormously.

best regards

Marcel

Hello Marcel,

Thank you for your patch.

Before we talk about the actual patch I would like to know the use case for this package in IPFire.

Best,
