DiskFerret

Effectively Manage Disk Space Usage

DiskFerret analyzes the files in any hard drive, network share, or folder, producing charts and info to show you exactly where and how your disk space is being used!

And it's not just for show, either -- DiskFerret gives you everything that you need to delete these files, or ZIP them up for archiving!

It's easy to get up and running with DiskFerret, thanks to a slick and intuitive interface that gives you easy access to location history, direct entry of specific file system locations, and the ability to launch a file with just a couple of clicks.

Exolon Miner Hmm, tried the Trial, but the Program is (for 1 hour) neither responding, nor updating it's screen.

Not very promising.....

Feb 3 at 3:40am

David Shaw I would see this more as an IT tool. It would be more useful if it could be installed on a USB drive so it can be used when needed on whatever machine your working on.

Feb 3 at 7:47am

Michael R. How are hard-links (i.e. these links you can e.g. create with the makelink-command) handled in DiskFerret?

Feb 3 at 9:06am

Ray Newman Exolon, If you could, navigate to the DiskFerret log location by entering %userprofile%\diskferret into Windows Explorer address bar, and send the DiskFerret.log.0 to support@diskferret.com we'll take a look to see if we can determine the problem.

Swooft Software, LLC Vendor - Feb 3 at 9:29am

Ray Newman Hard links are treated as physical files by DiskFerret. Hard links not only point to a file but duplicate it as a copy without taking up the extra hard disk space required by a clone. If you have a hard link pointing to a file then delete the original file, the hard link will still retain a copy of the clone. This is a darned if you do and darned if you don’t situation. When treated as a physical file, hard links can skew disk utilization results when the link and the physical file are in the same scan results, but if only the link is in the scan results it could skew potential disk utilization results if not included.

Swooft Software, LLC Vendor - Feb 3 at 10:28am

Michael R. Thanks Ray for your quick answer. Since XP I use directory-hardlinks mostly for backup-restore reasons: I do often a fast restore of my complete 'windows/program' partition (TrueImage) without wanting new data-files be overwritten by the old ones, so I have the data-files on a separate partition. Unfortunately some programs do not allow this directly, but with a hardlink I can let the physical data be on the other, the data-parition.

What I meant with my question before was mostly:

Can I, when using DiskFerret see all the files which are virtually on a partition and at the same time see, that they are physically not on that partition? So it would be great to have kind-of-a-button to switch between a virtual sight (, were all the files/directories were visible in their sizes like they appear in a filebrowser (no matter if the files/dirs are on the current partition or not) - as said, they should be easily seen as not physically on this drive) and a physical sight (where just the link(-file) would appear).

So e.g. I could avoid (by switching to the physical sight) while being on my program-drive C: to remove unintentionally dictories/files from my drive D: just because I think these files are on drive C: and could restored easily afterwards by my backup/restore-program.

Another thing would be when searching for duplicate files, which I've seen is luckily integrated into your utilitiy. Is there taken care of the case, that files/dirs which do occur virtually on two different places, but are physically the same are shown as double? So when removing a spposed duplicated file/dir this would also remove the other file. Does DiskFerret handle this case from not happening?

Thanks a lot...

Ray Newman Michael, I assume you are referring to Directory Junctions, but to be sure tell me more about the specific commands you use to create the links.

If you are using Directory Junctions, this can be handled in DiskFerret by setting up a filter that excludes files which have their reparse point attribute set. Once a filter has been configured to exclude reparse points you can quickly switch between your filter that excludes directory junctions, or no filter, via the filter dropdown list that is located on the application toolbar. Folder and file objects in DiskFerret are displayed using the same icons that are displayed by Windows, so you'll get the same visual indicator that you get in Windows when a directory is a junction or a symbolic link. Also, using a filter that excludes reparse points as described above will avoid showing a duplicate for a physical file and a file linked via a directory junction.

Swooft Software, LLC Vendor - Feb 4 at 12:46pm

Michael R. Hi Ray.

You are right. What I meant above was indeed what you thought I did. I use an utility called MAKELINK in command-mode to create these links (wirtten by Mikael Nordell from year 2000) and when calling it, it gives a short explanation, what it does: 'Displays and/or modifies NTFS5 Junction Points').

So, thanks for your explaining answer. Before I never knew about such a reparse point attribute...

Andrew Griffiths FYI - have spent 20 mins trying to buy. Have never used or been forced to use Google Checkout before. Tried in both Chrome & Internet Explorer but Google Checkout complete fail.

1st it tried to tell me California not a recognized state
2nd it wouldn;t let me get past the agree to terms & conditions etc without actually opening them (2 documents) although I don't think it said that and certainly wasn;t obvious
3rd it tells me "content cannot be displayed in a frame"
4th and deal killer - "place your order now $8.99" grayed out - tried refreshing page several times to no avail

Add another 5+ mins signing in here and writing this + you have one frustrated, lost customer.

Feb 5 at 12:13pm

Ray Newman Andrew, Sorry for the Google Checkout troubles. This is the 1st we’ve heard of any problems with Google Checkout. Please take a look at http://support.google.com/checkout for Google’s Checkout Buyer Help to see if that resource might help resolve the problem.

Swooft Software, LLC Vendor - Feb 5 at 1:15pm

Andrew Griffiths Ray - thanks for reply but not willing to risk wasting more time on Google Checkout. Post an email address here I can contact you on if you wish to pursue. Cheers

Feb 5 at 1:46pm

Michael R. Hi Ray.

In the meantime I downloaded the demo and played around with it. I went to a directory where some junction-point-directories are in (with no filter applied) and strangely they did not appear in DiskFerret at all.

Playing around a little - I could not reconstruct what I did - once they suddenly appeared. After quiting DiskFerret and restarting it again, they were gone again...

Feb 5 at 1:52pm

Ray Newman Andrew, I understand your frustration. Please contact us at support@diskferret.com.

Swooft Software, LLC Vendor - Feb 5 at 2:58pm

Ray Newman Michael, We'll look into it. We'll likely need more detailed informaton from you on the particulars of the data, so if you're willing to invest a little time to help, please email us at support@diskferret.com with your contact information. If we can duplicate the problem we'll post a fix release within 48 hours.

Swooft Software, LLC Vendor - Feb 5 at 3:10pm

Bjondc On your website you have a "Personal license" -- how is that different from what is here? can it be used on more than one computer (I have two right now) or what? It'd still be "personal use" and "at home".

Feb 5 at 3:18pm

Peter C1 Well I love the graphics and I have a good look around the website too.

What can I price wise it compares favourably with another well known and similar in appearance program (think Trees and their size) And it would appear that the other program which has been around for years, allows the buyer to select a 12,24 or 36months of maintenance (including any updates or major upgrades) period.

Having said that Disk Ferret is currently at version 1.3.0 with free minor updates AND it may well be a few years before version 2 is released and requires a new (discounted?) payment.

The main downfall I could find by comparison with the other progam, is that the opposition allows a SiNGLE USER to install Personal or Professional versions on up to 3 computers (but read the L, T&C to see what category you fit in) AND there is NO ONLiNE Activation to speak of (well not that I could find mentioned).

So wether to buy DiskFerret or Tree???? hmmm it's not an easy choice but I think the single user 3 PC & no online activation sways me away from DiskFerret.

But there is still about 8.5 hours till expiry ...
_______________
Edited extra:

Never seen or heard of Google Checkout, but it DOES allow you to buy Licenses and deliver them as gifts in other recipients names which is a big thumbs up/AAA+ as far as I'm concerned.

Now, if only the hardware footprint for a single user was 3 ...

Feb 5 at 3:24pm

Jesus InsideMe Installing its license key a program shows a blank page, I reinstalled 4 times with same results, support honored their word and they proceeded with my money refund, and yes, is complicated from the beginning purchase with Google Checkout (although I did not have a problem with it), God bless them and I hope in Christ they can fix this trouble app to give a new try. (I use W7 64 bits)

Feb 5 at 5:24pm

Ray Newman Blair, DiskFerret licenses can be used for 1 computer only. What is being offered here is an unrestricted (business) license. Personal licenses are restricted to non-commercial purposes in non-business, non commercial environment. Please see the full license agreement at http://www.diskferret.com...ement.html.

Swooft Software, LLC Vendor - Feb 5 at 5:46pm

Bjondc Thank you for the clarification.

Feb 5 at 7:11pm

Ralph Bressler I paid for the program but got no e-mail with a code to register the program! Why?

Feb 5 at 11:09pm

Jerry S I'm a bit disappointed. Your per computer license in this age of people commonly owning two personal computers is regressive. At this price, I would have purchased two licenses, one for my primary computer and another for my travel machine, but your Google Checkout doesn't permit me to change quantities. If you think I will be so infatuated with DiskFerrett that I will pay full price for a second copy for my little used travel computer, you're wrong.

Also, I would suggest you use another payment platform since Google Checkout doesn't permit me to use other payment modes such as PayPal.

Small criticisms to be sure, but you're in a customer driven market and should focus on pleasing your customers. It takes more than just a good product to do that.

Swooft Software, LLC Vendor - Feb 6 at 5:13am

Joel Koltner Let me chime in here to also mention that -- while at least it's clearly mentioned on the "policy tab" here -- as a "PC enthusiast" locking the software to a single machine doesn't really do me any good: I run through multiple PCs each year, and it's a royal pain to have to call or e-mail companies to see if they'll let you transfer the license to a new machine and try to convince them that, no, you're not trying to pirate the software.

I would be willing to pay more for a "licensed PER USER for non-commercial purposes" version. Even Microsoft offers this with Windows, you know...

Feb 6 at 9:08am

Jerry S I am not impressed with Disk Ferret's business practices. I wrote their support department ot complain of not having received a receipt or serial number.

Noticed a posting here that they send it to the your Gmail address. Duh! This is 2012. I give you the address I want you to use in communicating with me - and you use it. You don' send it to an email address I very rarely use.

Color me not impressed. The product is marginally useful, but the restrictive licensing terms, the inability to purchase two licenses and the business of sending transaction information to a Gmail address I rarely use leads me to consider just forgetting about the whole thing.

Ray Newman Jerry - We heard Bits ju Jour users loud and clear on the issue of Google Checkout. Google Checkout provides Swooft Software, LLC with a secure and economical ecommerce solution, which helps us keep our cost down, but we understand that customers want alternatives. We are working on alternative ecommerce solutions and will provide those in the future. Our automated order fulfillment sends emails with activation codes to the email address that is registered with Google Checkout. That is the only email address we have available.
