Baobab como alternativa Linux ao WinDirStat
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
Baobab can replace WinDirStat for most everyday users who need a quick visual overview of disk usage on a Linux system. It shows a treemap, lets you drill into folders, and displays file types and sizes. It is ideal for GNOME users or those who prefer a native GTK application. However, it lacks some of WinDirStat’s advanced features such as deleting or moving files directly from the interface and detailed file‑extension statistics. For power users who rely on those features, a more feature‑rich tool might be preferable.

Abrindo seus arquivos do WinDirStat
Baobab does not read or write WinDirStat’s proprietary data files. Users cannot import WinDirStat reports directly into Baobab. If you need to share data between the two, export the WinDirStat data as a CSV or text file and manually compare it with Baobab’s output.
Trocando o WinDirStat pelo Baobab, passo a passo
- Install Baobab via your distribution’s package manager (e.g., apt install baobab).
- Open Baobab and select the filesystem or folder you want to analyse.
- Use the treemap view to locate large files or directories.
- If you need to delete or move files, right‑click the item and use the file manager that opens.
- Export Baobab results to a CSV if you need a textual record (File → Export).
