Filelight uses an interesting nested pie-chart technique to represent filesytem disk usage. Its function is similar to du and the miriad of other diskspace visualisation tools, however due to its more advanced method of representing directory heirarchies it is often possible to use Filelight in unexpected ways. Browsing your home directory using Filelight is often an enlightening experience!

The easiest way to understand what Filelight does is to look at a screenshot, this is a good one:

This version is a slight revision to the recent 0.6.3 release, but with Welsh and German translations, some UI tweaks and some memory leak fixes thanks to Valgrind.

Filelight is also present in kde cvs, (currently in kdenonbeta).

I hope you enjoy using Filelight, and if you have any suggestions then I'd love to hear them :-) Thanks

Our first-plan development is really more in-depth:

• Moving to a new DB API (it may be considered by some people as a candidate to the official KDE DB Api) - this is 90% of current development during last 2 months
• Refactoring Kexi design and code, because new we are not using KOffice libs (see http://www.kexi-project.org/wiki/wiki/index.php?Kexi%27s%20Environment)
• Making Kexi more easy to use and universal, simply moving away from being a frontend
