Graphic Inspector 2.6.2



GrandPerspective is a small utility application for macOS that graphically shows the disk usage within a file system.It can help you to manage your disk, as you can easily spot which files and folders take up the most space.It uses a so called tree map for visualisation. Each file is shown as a rectangle with an area proportional to the file's size.Files in the same folder appear together, but their placement is otherwise arbitrary.


3 Feb 2022 GrandPerspective 2.6.2 has been released and is available for download from Sourceforge and the App Store.It fixes the known issue (unwanted black pixels during zoom-in animation) introduced in Version 2.6.1.
