Hm, not amused. Latest version is shareware, and it doesn't warn you anywhere in the what's new window.
Not the way to go with freeware apps going shareware. Thumbs down.
"Grand Perspective" is still free and beats this app in all ways i can think of...
10.3.91 can be found at zdnet (see version link)
4.1 crashes in Panther. Would like to be able to get 10.3.92 if anyone can tell me where.
I went back to 10.3.92 too. 10.4.1 is buggy and annoying.
if anyone is having trouble getting their hands on the last version (which was actually freeware) just leave a comment and i will upload it to badongo or something and put up a link.
On the website it does say that one can use it for free, but I have updated the information here to reflect the price and license change.
Also check Baseline (shareware): it scans your volume, then saves the results, so that you can see later which folders are bigger, and which are smaller.
To paraphrase Heinlein, there ain't no such thing as freeware - it's either Free (open source) software, or it no-payment-yet-until-we-decide-otherwise-ware. Wish Arne & Marcus could change the categories so that "Licence" actually reflected licencing terms and not pricing (which is a totally different concept).
xcgr is absolutely right.
WhatSize is not freeware anymore.
The price is around $13.
