I used Filelight for years, I loved its simple infographic that presented the largest dirs along with their size directly on the graphic.
Then, I was about to file a bug about it having no data on the graphic in some cases, but was interrupted by upgrading to 23.04.2 and PAM! It showed a bloated app!

While some may find useful the size panel, I don't. And cannot be disabled or hidden.
From a cool app with a simple look and yet comprehensive, it has become something I - personally - won't use unless I have to.

Please bring back the feature of displaying the totals on the graphic, the details on hover and a possibility to hide the left panel, the one with sizes!
