I think thats funny…They must of been joking …. You build one of the best programs known in the English speaking world. I don’t think the best programmers are Indian, I believe their German and I’m not German I m Scottish.

So could we get a way to share the data from WinDirStat to this program Vue http://vue.tufts.edu/ Visual Understanding Environment.
This would be very useful for research purposes.

I’m a big fan so thanks for a great program and please put a Donate button up.

Every once in awhile I get a question like that for Paint.NET. At startup it checks to make sure all its installation files are present, and runs a repair process (msiexec.exe /repair) if that isn’t the case. That includes all the language packs, and once in awhile I get an e-mail, “Why does Paint.NET complain if I delete the language packs!?” … Well c’mon. Paint.NET isn’t psychic about what languages you’ll need, and plus they barely take up any disk space anyway. I implemented this detect-and-auto-repair because I kept getting crash logs indicating that the resources files were … missing … *spooky music*. Haven’t had a crash report ever since.

Love WinDirStat btw — I recommend it a lot, it’s very helpful when figuring out if someone can migrate to an SSD. Going from a 500 GB to a 80 or 160 GB takes a bit of planning, and WinDirStat reduces that to about 5 minutes. Now, where’s the “donate” button … ?

The texts could be more efficiently packed than anything else, so it would be worthwhile including all available languages. That was my point.

Your response is certainly reasonable - prioritized alongside other features it is nowhere near as important as other things, but it can certainly be left on the TODO list in case someone feels it would be worthwhile for them.

Theoretically it would be only a bit more work to support building a single-language version, whether English, German, or any other supported language (choosing at compile time instead of run-time).
