New file report graphing

Hi again, just wanted to toss you a sneak peak at one of the new graphs coming in BulletProof FolderSizes 2.x. The quality of this image isn't spectacular (it's fairly compressed), but you'll get the idea.



There's nothing quite like a pie graph to help you to visualize disk space usage by file type - this allows you to quickly determine that certain types of files (multimedia files, for example) are consuming a big chunk of space. There's also a display filter that lets you show only the X largest file types (by disk space consumed).

Anyway, more to come!

Graph Feedback Sought

Recently I've been working to extend the graph/charting support provided by BulletProof FolderSizes. As a result, I'd be keen to hear any feedback you might have regarding what types of graphs/charts you would like to see added. If you have any thoughts along these lines, please email me at mark@keymetricsoft.com.

Thanks very much!
