Announcing a very crude port of gdmap for OS2008 Diablo.

Screenshot:http://www.box.net/os2008/1/38267058/393255072/1

As you can see it needs to be hildonized and does not support full-screen but otherwise seems to work. It also needs an icon and a application menu entry (and somewhere down the line included in extras-testing).

Download
http://www.box.net/os2008/2/38267044/393254860
and install via
(or click it in File Manager to open it in Application Manager)

Yes there are other programs already available for the tablets:
DiskUsage

but DiskUsage reminds me of Baobab, while gdmap is more a clone of SequioaView (maintained as WinDirStat) and my preference for determining where large files are.

There is of course also
and

-----------------------------
I also threw in an untested and DANGEROUS cross-compile of libiconv because it seemed to indicate as a dependency but turns out it couldn't find iconv due to a bug involving mmap permissions which is solved by outside of scratchbox
Download: http://p7230.homelinux.com/os2008/li....1-1_armel.deb
WARNING this will "overwrite `/usr/include/iconv.h', which is also in package libc6-dev".
------------------------------
EDIT: It won't let me change [ANNOUNCE] to [PORT] which would not give the wrong impression...

So this can be used like Windows disk cleaner?

Cool build, linuxeve.

Didn't know you had the chops to program something this complicated.

Haha thanks Addison, but no I didn't program this, it's just a simple cross-compile port. The only thing I did was fight with it to get it to compile.

It's available here http://sourceforge.net/projects/gdmap/files/ apparently created by sgop. And it should be available compiled for x86 on your desktop Linux distros in their repos.

I should have just posted to garage or extras-devel but they have random requirements I didn't want to fill. and this isn't really finished so I was going to post to Development but the posts there are mostly about scratchbox errors.

Hopefully someone that knows how to properly hildonize things can help get this better integrated and packaged correctly.

Suggestions of where it's more appropriate to post cross-compiled packages will be taken at this time (and only at this time >.>)

EDIT: Windows disk cleaner? Doesn't that just delete temporary files and unused icons and stuff? There are lot of things like this for Windows but I'm not sure what you are talking about...

Oh shoot, I think I meant to say Windows Disk Defragmenter that comes with the software by default.

I've never used it though since I usually reformat my computer every 45 days when the trial version of winrar expires.

Pretty silly of me doing that now that I think about it.

So yeah, does this program defrag your files on the handheld to increase speed a little?

I'm not sure a defrag would be of much use to a solid-state filesystem. Defrag only improves performance on disk-based systems because it rearranges files into continuous contiguous blocks of sectors, so the heads don't have to jump around collecting the splattered 'fragments' of a file from around the platter.

This isn't a defrag program, but something that shows you your biggest folders in a graphical manner.
