I think I discovered it through Merlin over on MBW. It doesn’t have a graphic representation, but it does display the used blocks very clearly here is the post link: http://myapplestuff.com/time-for-a-clean-sweep/ Good spot though for Disk Inventory X, will check it out.

It seems that the two applications are nearly identical. WhatSize has a few different view options other than the 3 column one that Omni Disksweeper uses though. Like you said in your review, Omni Disksweeper doesn't allow you to delete files through the interface without paying for the $15 version. WhatSize however gives this functionality for free :) Now if only someone would come up with a mashup of Disk Inventory X and WhatSize. If you are still using Omni Disksweeper I'd recommend that you give WhatSize a try. I installed and checked out Omni Disksweeper and I thought that I opened up WhatSize on accident, lol.

I don’t have enormous amounts of time as I have a young family. The beauty of MyApple is that there are now 6 members of staff and Chris is the big boss. So there is a chance for me to take a breather and someone else sends an article in. But it gives me a chance to cut my teeth in the blog world. All new to me. It’s actually very hard work maintaining the momentum of a blog and generating original content. I fully respect you as even I would struggle with one post a day. early days for my blog.
