Free size software for linux

Pysize is a graphical and console tool for exploring the size of directories. The project is written in Python, and requires Python ≥ 2.4 and pygtk ≥ 2.8 if you want to use the GUI.

Three user interfaces are available using the --ui command line option, the best available is chosen by default.

SYNOPSIS

Get the size for directory /etc/ with the block size of 1024 while following symbolic links:

my $obj = File::Size->new(
dir => /etc/,
blocksize => 1024,
followsymlinks => 1,
humanreadable => 1
);
print $obj->getsize(), "n";

File::Size is used to get the size of files and directories.

There are 6 methods you can use:

new

There are 4 optional hash values for the new() method:

dir

The directory you want the module to get the size for it. Default is current working directory.

blocksize

The blocksize for the output of getsize() method. default is 1 (output in bytes).

followsymlinks

If you want to follow symlinks for directories and files, use this option. The default is not to follow symlinks.

humanreadable

If you want output size in human readable format (e.g. 2048 -> 2.0K), set this option to 1.

You dont have to specify any of those options, which means this is okay:
print File::Size->new()->getsize(), " bytesn";

This is okay too:
print File::Size->new()->setdir( /etc/ )->setblocksize( 1024**2 )->getsize(), " MBn";

setdir

Used to set (or get - if called without parameters) the directory. Example: $obj->setdir( /etc/ );

setblocksize

Used to set (or get - if called without parameters) the block size. Example: $obj->setblocksize( 1024 );

setfollowsymlinks

Used to set if you want to follow symbolic links or not. If called without parmeters, returns the current state. Example: $obj->setfollowsymlinks( 1 );

sethumanreadable

Used to set (or get - if called without parameters) if you want human-readable output sizes. Example: $obj->sethumanreadable( 1 );

getsize

Used to calculate the total size of the directory. Prints output according to the block size you did or didnt specify.

Photo resize is a service menu for KDE that changes the selected pictures to the chosen size (550x550px, 500x500px, 450x450px,200x200px,150x150px).

The geometry will be hold. The script will size the pictures to their longer side.

Attention: The pictures will be overwritten!!

B::TerseSize is a Perl module that prints information about ops and their (estimated) size.

SYNOPSIS

perl -MO=TerseSize[,OPTIONS] foo.pl

The B::Size and B::TerseSize modules attempt to measure the size of Perl op codes. The output of B::TerseSize is similar to that of B::Terse, but includes the size of each OP in the tree and the PADLIST (subroutine lexical variables). The module can be run just as other compiler backends or used via Apache::Status (version 2.02 and higher).

If the Apache::Status StatusTerseSize option is enabled, there will be a main menu item added, "Memory Usage". Clicking on this link will cause B::TerseSize to produce a summary of package memory usage. This summary can take quite a while to produce, as each package subroutine syntax tree will be walked, adding up the information. This information will be cached, so running httpd in -X (non-forking mode) is a good choice.

When browsing the Apache::Status "Symbol Table Dump", a "Memory Usage" link will be at the bottom of each page. These summaries also include measurements of package global variables.

The Apache::Status symbol table browser will also provide an option to dump a subroutine tree along with the other subroutine options.

Nailer project is a Glib application that uses MPlayer to generate thumbnails of video media files.

Nailer takes 3 command line arguments. The first two are manadatory and the third is optional.

nailer input output [size]

input - is any video file that mplayer supports
output - is either the name of the png or jpeg file you want the output to go into
size - is the size in the X axis of the thumbnail you want to generate

nailer can be used to replace totem-video-thumbnailer and comes with the nautilus configuration file to do so.

Dupseek is a command-line interactive perl program to find and remove duplicate files.
A few strategies are possible for finding duplicate files in a big set, such as a heavily populated directory.
One of the most widely used consists of grouping files by size (because files of different size cant be identical) and then computing a short digital fingerprint (such as a md5 checksum) for the files.
Files with a different fingerprint are different, and files with the same digital fingerprint are very probably the same. Just to be sure, one can further check possible duplicates.
Main features:
- It starts by grouping files by size.
- Then it starts reading small chunks of the files of the same size and comparing them. It creates smaller groups depending on these comparisons.
- It goes on with bigger and bigger chunks (of size up to a hard-coded limit).
- It stops reading from files as soon as they form a single-element group or they are read completely (which only happens when they have a very high probability of having duplicates).
This algorithm is much more efficient than competitors when dealing with large files of the same size. When files differ, reading usually stops after very few reads.
Dupseek (and destroy) can be interrupted at any moment. The user is then presented with partial results and can either intervene manually or go on with the reading and computation, on a group-by-group basis. Since subsequent reads happen sparsely in the file, if some files are still in the same group after many iterations, they are most probably identical, unless the differences are very small.

wxFontView is a font viewing/image creation/installer. Uses wxPython to display system fonts and allows user to change font size, color, background color, font face and the diplayed text.

Handy to view fonts and styles quickly, or use to make "logo" graphics. Also can be used to install/uninstall fonts on a per-user basis. (Does not touch system fonts.)

Pstdelta project has been created in order to vastly reduce the size of differential backups of .pst files.
Administrators of Windows networks running Outlook will often find their networks clogged with Outlook pst files. These files are often around 1GB in size.
Since these files change every day the nightly backup will have to save them every day. This means that space has to be made for 1GB per user per day.
Pstdelta can be used to store the differences between an old and new version of a pst file. It can then generate the new file using just the old file and the output generated by pstdelta.
NOTE: this program has been stable for me for a while. However, running verify after making a delta file is probably a good idea.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a bug that caused verification failure in specific situations.
- It adds a nightly script to help facilitate the use of pstdelta in differential backups.
