.SH NAME
filelight \- graphically display disk usage
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B filelight
.RI [ " path " ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBfilelight\fP allows you to understand exactly where your disk space
is being used by graphically representing your file system as a set
of concentric segmented rings, where each segment subtends an angle
proportional to the disk space occupied by that file or directory.
.PP
You can specify a directory to scan on startup at the command line eg:
.nf
  filelight /home/mxcl
.fi
Starting at the root requires a scan of the entire directory tree,
which may take a while.
.PP
\fBfilelight\fP is available in Konqueror under \fBView | View Mode | RadialMap View\fP.
.SH RUN-TIME COMMANDS

.TP 
.B Hover over segments 
to find out more about the region of the file system it represents.
.TP 
.B Click on directories 
to see them in more detail (recenter the
display on that directory).
.TP 
.B Click on files 
to launch in the appropriate viewer (as configured in
Konqueror).
.TP 
.B Middle click 
to open files/directories with Konqueror.
.TP 
.B Right click on the center white circle 
to manipulate the directory the view is centered about.

for more detail - small files are hidden at
smaller window sizes.
