Aperçu de Clusters

Clusters est un compresseur de fichiers en arrière-plan, qui utilise la technologie de compression FS pour compresser de manière transparente les dossiers que vous configurez pour le traitement. OS X lira ces fichiers normalement, ils prendront juste moins d'espace disque.

Nouveautés de la version 1.7.2

Version 1.7.2 :

Correction de quelques problèmes avec l'icône du menu lors de l'exécution sur OS X 10.9.
- Important : Exécuter la version 1.6.x (ou antérieure) de Clusters sur OS X 10.9 peut déclencher un problème d'incompatibilité sérieux qui pourrait faire apparaître certains de vos fichiers comme s'ils avaient zéro octet (vos données sont toujours là, cependant ; elles semblent juste inaccessibles). Si vous avez utilisé une ancienne version de Clusters dans l'une des versions bêta de Mavericks et que vous rencontrez ce problème, veuillez mettre à jour et contacter support@latenitesoft.com afin que nous puissions vous aider à réparer les fichiers affectés.
L'icône du menu peut être cachée à nouveau.
Lors de l'utilisation de plusieurs écrans, l'icône du menu n'apparaît plus plusieurs fois.

This was a great little app, as it stands now I can't seem to get it to work since the 10.13 upgrade.

This app was a great way to gain a few extra GB of disk space on a packed HD. I also found on older systems (ones without SSDs) that it actually reduced the load times of larger applications, in some cases quite substantially...

Since the Mac OS X 10.13 update this doesn't appear to break anything, but it sits permanently idle. When I try adding a folder to the app I'm warned that it appears I'm adding a folder that is not part of the boot volume (even though I am)...

It may simply be that apple's new format no longer benefits from what this app does. If you are using an older system pre-dating 10.13, and especially if you have a non SSD, I'd still recommend this app.

I guess development on this is dead? Does anyone know if it works with 10.11? If not are there any alternatives? Terminal commands?

The last blog entry on their website is from March 2012...:-/ Anyway, Clusters has been working ok for years, here on OS 10.9.5. In fact, when installed, and once it has compressed the files, you don't even know it's there — I was wondering if it was still working, indeed! ;-) To check the gain, the easier solution I found is to Get Info on a big folder and compare it to the result for a Terminal command (du -sh path_to_the_folder) — multiplied by 1024×1024×1024, if you want a fair reading, Finder considering that 1 KB = 1000 bytes). The result for my /Applications folder gives 36GB against 28GB, a nice 8GB gain! If you're interested in HFS+ file compression, this article highlights a few utilities: http://www.cnet.com/news/unix-commands-for-managing-hfs-compression-in-os-x/ Some links are broken, but you'll easily find them — afsctool seems what you need to use for compressing files and folders without copying them.

I have been waiting since Dec. 20th for this company to respond to my tech support request. I can't get my serial number to register in a second account on the same machine. Supposedly, I'm supposed to be able to, but it won't work, and they won't get back to me...
