What's new in OmniDiskSweeper 1.9 R197948 Test

Nov 2, 2013
  • More Responsive:
  • OmniDiskSweeper is much more responsive when scanning a slow disk. (The interface used to block while scanning the list of files contained in a folder, which could cause very long pauses when scanning slow disks.)
  • Faster Scans of Remote Disks:
  • Switched to scanning directory contents using API that only collects the small set of attributes that OmniDiskSweeper is actually going to use, so it can scan remote disks much more quickly.
  • Smarter Scan Order:
  • Rather than scanning a directory to completion before starting on any other directories, OmniDiskSweeper will automatically skip between folders so you can more quickly get a sense of how big each directory is relative to the others.
  • System Requirements:
  • The minimum system requirement is now 10.8 (Mountain Lion).

New in OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 (Jul 24, 2012)

  • OmniDiskSweeper is now a 64-bit app, which means it can handle much larger sets of files.
  • File sizes are now reported using standard metric prefixes (1 kB = 10^3 bytes = 1,000 bytes; 1 MB = 10^6 bytes = 1,000,000 bytes) rather than using binary-based prefixes (1 kB = 2^10 bytes = 1,024 bytes; 1 MB = 2^20 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes).
  • Lion’s automount folders are no longer displayed in the network drive list.
  • OmniDiskSweeper has a new app icon!
  • The app is now signed with Developer ID so it works well with Gatekeeper on Mountain Lion.
  • Fixed the crash on launch when running on Snow Leopard.

New in OmniDiskSweeper 1.7.2 (Mar 20, 2010)

  • Updated the French help localization.

New in OmniDiskSweeper 1.7.1 (Aug 28, 2009)

  • Updated OmniDiskSweeper's crash catcher to be compatible with Snow Leopard.
  • New release notes no longer display on launch; they're still available from the software update feed, the download page, and the Help menu.
