folder-size-logger's Issues

Improve code and parallelize scanning multiple drives at once

new log organizational scheme

log will essentially be a text file equivalent of a python dictionary where the keys are the directories and the values are lists of tuples of datetime and size. obviously the log file will not be able to be appended to normally to add data and will need to be rewritten on each log cycle. to make this operation safe against crashes. the old file will remain as the new file is written under a temporary filename, then, at once, the old file will be deleted and the new file renamed to replace it.

This change would significantly reduce disk space used by the log to store the same amount of useful information
