Is it me or...
by Bruce Ure at 12:46 22/11/07 (Forum::Technical Advice::General)
.... is there an unfulfilled need for a very simple OSX menu-bar app that displays at a glance the available space on your hard drive?
There is a seemingly infinite number of menu-bar utilities out there but none of them seem to do this.

MenuMeters 1.3's Disk Activity lights do it for me - just click on 'em.

This is where I'd flash up 'MENUMETERS' and make the QI klaxon noise :-)

They are great and I use them for many things but I specifically want something that's there all the time... at-a-glance, not at-a-click. It's for my PVR and I want to be able to see without having to get up and go over to the machine and click something. Especially as the PVR is a Mini, with a tiny hard disc, and it records raw digital telly stream -- great for quality but not very efficient.

Thanks though :-)

In that case, I'd be tempted to mail the author of MenuMeters and explain that - he might decide to add 'show space available' as an option.

Cheers

That, or wait for SteveP to knock one up in a spare five minutes :-)

This is a very nice free set of menu bar utilities that has a graphical disc space thingy.
