WizTree 4.30 works on #ReactOS great, aside from some small visual glitches!

We already have WinDirStat (which is also open source), do we really need this clone? |

WizTree is not a clone but a modern, actively supported alternative that performs the same function as WinDirStat up to 50 times faster. Speed advantage: WizTree scans NTFS drives instantly (in seconds) by reading the Master File Table (MFT) directly, while WinDirStat crawls folders one by one, taking minutes. FAT32 performance: On FAT32 drives, WizTree cannot use MFT, but it is still significantly faster than WinDirStat due to modern, highly optimized scanning algorithms. Accuracy: WizTree accurately handles Windows Hard Links (e.g., in the WinSxS folder) and cloud files (OneDrive/iCloud), whereas WinDirStat miscalculates their size. Maintenance: WizTree is regularly updated and supports modern OS features, while WinDirStat has been abandoned for years |
