Today I was running out of disk space (I suspect this would later be the cause of my first Leopard kernel panic, in the firewall kernel module). So I used Spotlight to search for files of a specific type. Usually then I’d sort them by size and go from the biggest down, deleting files to free up some space.
Except, there was no ‘Size’ column in the Spotlight results.
So I go to the View menu and choose “Show View Options”
“There are no view options for the “Searching “This Mac”” Window.
Aaargh!
Sadly Spotlaser uses the Finder, and Path Finder didn’t actually seem to display the file size (I have not checked against the latest Path Finder).
Perhaps this is the thing that has most annoyed me about Leopard so far.
I wrote SpotLook, an opensource GUI to Leopard’s Spotlight.
The results table displays the file size!
