Graphical disk space usage analysers

anyone got any suggestions for other disk space usage analysers?

it's nice that on ncdu's site a few "similar projects" are mentioned.

treesize is a lovely little gui app, does what it needs to, clean n no fuss.
~but it's not in pacman or the AUR.

i'm not really interested in filelight, since it will want to drag along half of kde, and similarly i expect baobab is a bloater for the same reason with gnome.  no sign of philesight in the repo either though.

anyone got any suggestions for other disk space usage analysers?

perhaps a lighterweight, less DE-dependent, ring-style one?  ...if such a thing exists yet.

or is xdiskusage the best i'll find in the arch repos?

Gnome has one, but I use it rarely and can't really recommend it. It just shows disk usage (which is its job).

GdMap is maybe what you're after; light and pretty, but it has square cushions, not rings!

Just for the record, you don't have to go to ncdu or treesize webpage to look for alternatives, we have (some of) them listed in our wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … y_Programs

Maybe you can ask sb to put treesize in the AUR: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewforum.php?id=38 ?

I love Filelight. Really works well.
