v6.6
@ smaragdus : Thanks ... and updated ;)
v6.2
LookDisk 6.2 has been released.
v6.0
On first search it gave an exception error, some weird characters on screen and locked up. Avoid.
v5.4
The author has promptly corrected it so the download is now OK -- Thanks Vincenzo
@I am Baas - If you don't want to download again, your workaround was spot on :)
"Thanks for letting me know.
To correct this you can download the portable version again
or in ldw.ini change the line ;datapath=xxxx to datapath=. (remove semi-colon)."
V5.3
@NickR
Open ldw.ini, uncomment this line "datapath=" and enter the path. I am not sure if it accept relative path though but I will test and update the entry later. No time right now, cheers.
V5.3
I'm seeing a portability issues with version 5.3
On my XP system I find version 5.3 writes to %userdata%
I have just now duplicated my tests on versions 4.7 and 5.0 and they do not.
Just a heads up - will look further when time permits
V5.3
@SYSTEM: Thank you for this suggestion; I'd add that LookDisk has a GUI; on the other hand, Swiss File Knife is a command line tool.
V4.7
@robzuc: Swiss File Knife fulfills your requirements as well.
