[Guest saltydog]

Baobab is a multithreaded Perl-Gtk2 application to analyse directory trees in any Gnome environment. Baobab can easily draw either the whole filesystem tree, or a specific user-requested directory branch

:huh:

the screenshot makes more sense than the description:

thanks for signing up to tell us about your software, it looks very pretty and just what i'm after- loading konqueror to get the same feature was really annoying. Unfortunately i can't get it to work :(

 

djb@shuttle ~/downloads/baobab-0.1.0 $ baobab
Undefined subroutine &main::bind_textdomain_codeset called at /usr/bin/baobab line 72.

 

According to gentoo, i have this version of gnome perl installed:

dev-perl/gnome2-perl-1.00

and this version of gtk perl:

dev-perl/gtk2-perl-1.062

 

Thanks

I've been looking for something like this... time to go emerging...

I had to comment line 78 and manually create the /usr/share/pixmaps/baobab (and copy the pixmaps to it) to make it work, but it does. At least, so far.

New v.1.0.1 has been completely rewritten in C, so it goes faster!

You can find source code, and package on:

So... what's the use of this?

[Lowe]

Exactly what i was wondering.

[bvc]

I'd like to know...wuz_up_wid_da_name? :unsure:

[Lowe]

I think he uses ubuntu, that might explain why the name is bad.

[Guest Adriano1]

Well, baobab is a kind of tree (a very big kind of tree). Since the program measures the size of directory trees, I don't think it's a bad name.

I am wondering if this really tries to achieve the same thing as filelight which I think gives a superior visual image of the relative sizes and relationship of files, folders and directorys. Or does this do something different ???. After all filelight also effectively shows the tree pattern of the system too and gives instant info of what may be hogging the system and where.

If you want filelight, I think it is in contributors otherwise plf-free.

Cheers. John.
