pyDirStat is a lightweight application that shows statistical data for a given directory.
Furthermore, the latest update of pyDirStat allows users to configure the tool to their liking. Configuration is made even simpler with the addition of pds-config.py, which leads users through a series of questions before generating the desired configuration file. In this file, users can customize color associations and file types for greater specificity.
The configuration file contains several type sections, which define the "type" associated with a file name or extension. Each type corresponds to a specific color scheme, which is defined in the color section. The type sections include type:extension, which matches a file with a specific extension, type:extensionlower, which ignores case sensitivity, type:exactmatch, which matches the entire file name, and type:contain, which matches part of a file name.
pyDirStat requires Python to run and is updated with several new features, including a way to draw information other than just "file size" and the ability to exclude certain files and directories based on their name. Overall, pyDirStat is a powerful tool for viewing directory information in an easily digestible graphic format.
