If you launch <code>DiskUsage</code> without specifying a volume, it will wait until you drop one or more volumes or folders on its window or select a volume from the menu. 33 </p> 12 34 13 <hr> 35 <p> 36 While <code>DiskUsage</code> is scanning a volume, it displays a status bar showing its progress.
