Baseline: There’s Nothing Baseline About This App

Baseline: There’s Nothing Baseline About This App: “s you all the scans that you have saved for a hard drive. You name the scans, so if you name them by date you can easily find which scan you are looking for. It would be nice if you could double-click on one of those managed scans and compare to it, though. You can do this easily, though, by just selecting a scan in the popup box in the upper-left hand corner. Another thing that would be very useful would be, when you open Baseline, to load the last scan made so you can see what it looked like.

Another amazing feature of Baseline is the ability to archive and compress files with the click of a button. Just press ‘Archive’ in the toolbar (when you have already scanned), and it will take that file and compress it in .gzip, and put the original file in the trash. If you choose to archive the file, it will compress it with .tgz and trash the original. It would be nice if they asked you whether you wanted to have the original trashed.

Baseline is well worth the ~$5 more you pay than for OmniDiskSweeper or WhatSize because of all the features listed above. Not all of them are perfect, but no one expects them to be. The final most important thing that makes it even more worth the money is the interface. Its interface is so much more Mac-like than all the rest. I absolutely love the interface, and think that it is so much easier to use than those of the others. It just looks better, which in my opinion is worth the $5 alone.”
