WinDirStat

[edit]

I added windirstat, as I used this recently and didn't see it here on the list. However, I know there was previous discussion on another wiki page that windirstat was considered spam (which I do not think it is)...

No WinDirStat page exists yet.

Found link to deleted page:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/WinDirStat

Should have a page imho... — Preceding unsigned comment added by ProsperousOne (talkcontribs) 22:36, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the link; if the software was notable, the consensus wouldn't have been to delete it. Adding a link to it looks like spamming
That's not to say it's bad software or anything, just that it's not notable enough to be included. Cralar (talk) 23:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also vote to undelete the WinDirStat page (still exists in the German Wikipedia: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinDirStat).

Unique among similar free Windows apps is, that it shows the scanned subtree percentage *and* optional a treemap view + an extension list (sorted by used space).

For example on http://alternativeto.net/desktop/windirstat/ it has much more likes than TreeSize, Sequoiaview, SpaceMonger and Scanner. --Furty (talk) 12:28, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No need for a section containing a list of products

[edit]

I have just removed section external links, because it only contained a handful of links to the web sites of software publishers and because it was redundant with the {{Disk space analyzers}} navbox. A list of products was originally part of the article and it was later entirely replaced with the navbox. Also, the consensus since those early days has been to only include links to other Wikipedia articles and not to external web sites (to help avoid spam or the appearance of spam). If a notable product is missing from the list, it seems more suitable to first create an article for it and then add a link to the article (not to an external web site) in the navbox rather than on this page.
