QDirStat als Linux-Alternative zu TreeSize Free
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
QDirStat is a solid Linux alternative to TreeSize Free for users who need a graphical overview of disk usage and occasional cleanup. It offers a tree view and a treemap, lets you delete files to trash, and can export data, which covers most everyday tasks. Power users who rely on extensive scripting or need deep command‑line integration may still prefer a CLI‑only tool, but for typical desktop users the feature set is more than adequate.

Was gleich funktioniert

Was anders ist
- QDirStat includes a treemap visualization, TreeSize Free does not
- QDirStat can delete files to trash directly from the UI, TreeSize Free only marks for deletion
- TreeSize Free offers a command‑line mode for scripting; QDirStat lacks a native CLI interface
- Export formats may differ; TreeSize Free can copy results to clipboard more directly
Ihre TreeSize Free-Dateien öffnen
QDirStat does not understand TreeSize Free's proprietary report files. You can manually copy or re‑export data from TreeSize Free as plain text or CSV and then import that into QDirStat if needed, but there is no automated conversion. If you only need the exported CSV, QDirStat can read similar CSV structures, so re‑creating the report is straightforward.

Can QDirStat be used in scripts?
It has limited command‑line support; you can launch a scan and export results, but it lacks the full scripting capabilities of TreeSize Free.
Does QDirStat run on all Linux distributions?
Yes, it is packaged for Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu and available as a Flathub flatpak, so it works on most modern distros.
Is there a way to open TreeSize Free export files directly in QDirStat?
No native importer exists; you would need to convert the data to a supported format like CSV manually.
