The DiskSavvy disk space analyzer provides multiple types of statistical pie charts and timeline charts capable of showing the amount
of disk space usage and the number of files per directory, file extension, file type, file size, file owner, creation, modification
and last access time. In order to open the charts dialog, press the 'Charts' button located on the main toolbar and select an appropriate chart type.
By default, the charts dialog shows the amount of disk space usage and the number of files for the current file system location. For example,
in order to open a chart showing the disk space usage and the number of files per file category in the current directory, press the 'Charts' button
located on the main toolbar and select the 'Disk Space Usage Per Category' chart type.
In addition, the charts dialog provides the user with the ability to export the chart data to a number of different formats and copy the displayed
chart image to the clipboard allowing one to easily integrate DiskSavvy charts into user's documents and presentations. In order to customize the
chart's description, press the 'Options' button and specify a custom chart title, host name, date or time.
One of the most powerful features of the DiskSavvy disk space analyzer is the ability to filter disk space analysis results using one or more
user-specified filters and then categorize filtered results and display statistical pie charts. For example, in order to display a pie chart
showing the amount of disk space per file extension for files that were modified during the last two years, set the file categorization mode
to 'Categorize By Modification Year', select one or more years to show the information for, press the right mouse button over the file
filters view and select the 'Apply Selected Filters' menu item.
DiskSavvy will filter the disk space analysis results and display files that were modified during the selected years. Now, press the 'Charts' button
located on the main toolbar and select the 'Disk Space Usage Per Extension' menu item. DiskSavvy will categorize the filtered disk space analysis
results and display a pie chart showing the amount of disk space usage per file extension for files that were modified during the selected years.
In a similar way, the user can filter disk space analysis results by file type, size, user name, file attributes, creation, modification and last
access dates and then display various types of charts showing the disk space usage or the number of files according to user-specific needs.
