Adding Disk Usage Reporting to Emacs Dired
September 18, 2024
Just a quick one today. One of the great strengths of Emacs is its extensibility, I have mentioned before in adding the ability to disk report on the size of a directory in dired but I thought I would quickly revisit the topic, demonstrating the function I currently use.
