Version 4.0 (aka "10.4") asks you to buy a license when you start it up. Sorry to see this isn't freeware anymore. Back to version 10.3.92 for me.

xcgr is absolutely right.
WhatSize is not freeware anymore.
The price is around $13.

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).

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.

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.

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.

I went back to 10.3.92 too. 10.4.1 is buggy and annoying.

4.1 crashes in Panther. Would like to be able to get 10.3.92 if anyone can tell me where.

10.3.91 can be found at zdnet (see version link)

"Grand Perspective" is still free and beats this app in all ways i can think of...

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.

Here's the direct link to a freeware version:

I'll keep on using that one for now although 'Grand Perspective' and 'Disk Invernory X' do the trick too.

I understand that they want to earn some money for their efforts, it's probably a lot of work. The only thing that is really unacceptable is that the 'automatic update' function bumps you from free- to shareware version.

Pity.

I like the app but the icon is hideous. Does anyone have a good replacement icon?

Just switched from "Chicken of the VNC".
CotVNC for some reason won't allow me to right click at all. A reinstall didn't work. I then came across this rival.
It is noticeably faster, and will probably get faster still when 8bit monitor depth mode is enabled in a future release.
I'm using a PPC 1.67Ghz and these are some comparitive results on the host whilst "sweeping" through the dock with the mouse in the remote desktop for each prog (both at 16bit res):
CofVNC - 38% CPU usage, 15Mb Real mem, 236Mb Virtual mem.
JollyfVNC - 7% CPU usage, 19Mb Real mem, 246Mb Virtual mem.

Only 4Mb more ram for over 5x less CPU usage is a good trade off in my book.

Dupe of http://osx.iusethis.com/app/macports. Darwinports is the old name.

The Developer is also not "GNU" and its license is not Freeware, but open source under BSD license.

Hmmh, thats right. I changed it. But darwinports is darwinports ;). Not macports!

DarwinPorts was renamed MacPorts back in August 2006. See "DarwinPorts project announces New Hosting and New Name" under "Project News" at http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ ...

For everybody: darwinports is the projekt. How you call your software is not interesting. I know, that there's MacPorts. But darwinports is MacPorts. MacPorts is not darwinports ;), that's the point. Thanks mates!

I have no idea what agenda you're trying to push here. But this is nonsense. The DarwinPorts project has been renamed MacPorts. There is no more DarwinPorts. Even the old project site http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/ (the one you're listing as this entry's homepage) now redirects to http://www.macports.org/.
