There is no application in the world that is known for certain to support 10.7 yet.
Yes one. I've seen 10.7 appear in one of my upgrade today, but unfortunatly I can't remember the name of the software

A pretty hefty claim since I don't see 10.7 being seeded.

DaisyDisk has been added to MacDeveloper if you want to help to squash the bugs and eventually get a free copy of the software :
http://macdeveloper.net/projects/view/160
You need to register to see and subscribe to the project.
Kyd, we're playing fair here: DaisyDisk 1 won't silently update to v2 with sparkle, it's a lame solution. BUT DaisyDisk 1.x has a build-in mechanism for detecting availability of 2.x and knows upgrade terms (free of discounted). Licensing policy is also explained in both manual and registration dialog. We'd rather get less money than have disappointed users ![]()
As for 10.7 compatibility, there's a little we know about it currently. We do know that some Apple employees used it on 10.7 (at least that's what our records reveal), so it should work. If it won't — we'll fix the issue ASAP.

Thank you for not being insane ![]()
The App Store version does not support scanning as administrator: the feature was removed to comply with Apple’s app submission policy
More things that piss me off about Apple. What in the hell is so bad about such a feature, anyway?

If I buy the App Store version of DaisyDisk right now, will I be able to exchange it for the “stand-alone” version later?
Very likely. We can probably just create a new stand-alone license for you. Note that the reverse exchange is not technically possible.
Well, that's nice. Now people will not be afraid to buy the App Store version.

Ask Apple
They made it clear that they won't approve the app with the Admin mode…

Migration FROM the Mac App Store is relatively painless for us (except for the fact that we'll have to solve each case manually
). Migrating TO the App Store is nearly impossible and that sucks. As Mac users we don't like the idea of forcing people pay twice for the same software…

What are the implication of not browsing in admin mode? Do you just have to enter your admin password when deleting things?

Admin mode has a few disadvantages like increased scan time and a need to enter your admin password each time ![]()
In some rare cases you DO need to enter your admin password in order to delete some stuff. I'm not sure this code is enabled in MAS version…

I am sorry that it requires manual work to allow the migration, but after reading about how another indie software company is handling MAS, you guys deserve a medal.
This is how customer service should be.

Finally DaisyDisk 2.0.6 aka "stand-alone release" is online and we're adding final touches to web templates before launching it officially. DaisyDisk 2 beta expires in a day, so don't forget to update (you'll have to update from beta versions anyway).
If you're hearing about DaisyDisk 2 for the first time, take a look at the whatsnew list www.daisydiskapp.com/majorUpgrade2ReleaseNotes.php and see yourself if it's worth paying ~10 bucks for the upgrade.
The upgrade process is quite straightforward: download the most recent version from http://www.daisydisk.com and follow on-screen instructions.

For what its worth, I have had no troubles using the Mac App Store version. Then again, some people still have not/cannot install 10.6.6

Stand-alone version should work just fine on Mac OS X 10.5, we haven't even dropped PPC support for it yet ![]()

The competition heats up. Spotted this on macZOT!:
DiskRadar
Looks like they pulled a Hands Off! on you (ie copy your app and add a few features to it).

Blatant ripping has nothing to do with competition.
Real competitors to DaisyDisk 2 are Eximo and Disk Falcon: both are build around sunburst/treepies.
And looks like your parallel with HandsOff is correct: compared to LS it's a mess (had to roll back with Time Machine after reporting a few issues to developers)

Whatever do you mean? Blatant ripping off is all that has kept Microsoft alive for decades!

They're not Microsoft
Well you know. Aim for the moon; if you miss you have a marginal chance of falling into the gravity well of a star but you'll more likely continue careening into space until your protons decay as a precursor to the heat death of the universe.
That was the saying, right?
