Kdirstat is one of the best (probably the best) KDE graphical disk usage utility.
I am aware of Filelight application, but i believe that drawing round circles can't give you the right idea as this can:

Kdirstat is one of those KDE3 applications that are really good, and are being missed in KDE4.

Integrating Kdirstat function inside Dolphin would probably be great solution.

It is already part of konqueror. Just change the view mode to file size view.

Konqueror only shows the picture representation of sizes.
There is no option as far as i know to preview sizes as shown in photo above.

The picture doesn't work for me. And if there are specific features missing from the KDE4 version of file size view, you should request those in a separate idea. It would be more efficient to add one or two features to an existing program than to port another program with mostly duplicate functionality.

I would vote for this idea if I could. The FSview part of konqueror IMHO isn't very useful at all when you have a lot of folders with a lot of files in it. You get a mess of tiny blocks where you cannot recognize anything. A list/tree view like in kdirstat is IMHO much more userfriendly and gives a way better overview.

I like KDirStat more than FileLight too.
So I started working on it :)

Obviously, my port is nowhere near ready yet. But I've only been working on it over this weekend, and the tree works.

Oh, I am so glad that you do the port. Please update this page in case you. Is there a source control repository in which you commit?
