Space Radar v3.3.0

This version fixes and addresses many issues. It has gotten an app icon too thanks to Jill!

Mac only builds for now(update: windows builds added), and if you try it, please let me know what you think!

• App icon finally! Thanks Jill for the help with this :)
• Many Bug fixes
• Disk scanning is moved to a webview process
• Investigated various RPC methods. Now uses LocalStorage + FileSystem IPC message passing
• Reduce memory usage (and Electron crashes) by not caching key paths
• Tested on > 100GB & 2M files
• Improvements to user interactivity esp on hover states
• To prevent renderer process from hitting heap mem limit (1.5GB), all previous data is null, with dom elements removed to reduce memory pressure
• Allow target selection for disk usage scanning
• Locate path in Finder
• Env Debug Flags

space-radar v2.0.0

• Major speed up scanning directories. About 10x from version 1.x.x, and almost as fast or faster than du.
• Runs disk scanning as a separate headless renderer process
