This repo is an update of fsv for modern systems (GTK2).

fsv (pronounced eff-ess-vee) is a file system visualizer in cyberspace. It lays out files and directories in three dimensions, geometrically representing the file system hierarchy to allow visual overview and analysis. fsv can visualize a modest home directory, a workstation's hard drive, or any arbitrarily large collection of files, limited only by the host computer's memory and graphics hardware.

fsv was featured in Jurassic Park: "It's a Unix system!". Original site has screenshots.
