Filelight, alternative Linux à WinDirStat
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Filelight is a solid replacement for WinDirStat on Linux. It offers the same core functions—visual treemap (via concentric rings), directory navigation, file‑extension statistics, full‑partition scanning, and quick deletion of large files. It works natively on Linux, is actively maintained, and integrates with popular file managers. It’s ideal for users who need a native Linux tool with a clean interface and direct file operations, especially those already using KDE or other file managers.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil
- Both display disk usage visually and allow navigation through a directory tree
- Both support scanning entire partitions or chosen folders
- Both provide statistics grouped by file extension
- Both let users delete or move files directly from the interface
Ce qui change
- Filelight uses concentric rings instead of a treemap, which some users may find less familiar
- WinDirStat shows a classic treemap with color coding by file type; Filelight’s ring view groups by folder size
- Filelight integrates with Dolphin, Konqueror, and Krusader; WinDirStat is a standalone Windows app
- Filelight’s statistics are shown on hover; WinDirStat displays a detailed list panel
- Filelight lacks a built‑in file‑extension color legend that WinDirStat provides
Ouvrir vos fichiers WinDirStat
WinDirStat produces .wds files that are specific to its own format and cannot be opened directly by Filelight. Filelight does not import WinDirStat data. To migrate, you would need to re‑scan the same directories in Filelight rather than importing the existing report.
Passer de WinDirStat à Filelight, étape par étape
- 1. Install Filelight from your distribution’s package manager or Flathub
- 2. Open Filelight and choose the partition or folder you want to analyze
- 3. Let Filelight scan; the concentric rings will appear
- 4. Use the interface to delete or move large files as needed

Can I use Filelight to delete files I find large?
Yes, click on a ring or folder in the diagram and choose delete from the context menu or the toolbar.
Does Filelight show file‑extension statistics?
It shows sizes per folder; you can view detailed file information on hover, but it does not provide a separate extension‑by‑extension list like WinDirStat.
Is Filelight fast on large drives?
Filelight’s scanning speed is comparable to WinDirStat; it reads the file system directly and is efficient on modern Linux filesystems.
