With the first version voted one of the best products of the year by PC Magazine, Version 2 adds significant new capabilities that help users clear disk space, manage files, and see how much space internet files consume. In addition to a graphical map based on nested rectangles, Version 2 includes a standard file tree allowing space saving and file management functions to be performed with one product. Version 2 supports full right click menus on both the map and the file tree.
Users can also drag, drop, and copy files within or between the map, tree or other applications.
Version 2 provides several new ways to clear disk space. The upgrade can find and graphically display duplicate files, such as those downloaded twice from the internet, and list file extensions in order of the space they consume on your drive. DiskMapper Version 2 also offers an advisor that helps you decide whether a selected file can be deleted. An improved mapping engine provides for faster disk scanning and mapping. This allows users to see more clearly which files should be compressed or deleted.
