WizTree 4.30 works on ReactOS great, aside from some small visual glitches!

We already have WinDirStat (which is also open source), do we really need this clone?

WizTree is not a clone but a modern, actively supported alternative that performs the same function as WinDirStat up to 50 times faster.

Speed advantage: WizTree scans NTFS drives instantly (in seconds) by reading the Master File Table (MFT) directly, while WinDirStat crawls folders one by one, taking minutes.

FAT32 performance: On FAT32 drives, WizTree cannot use MFT, but it is still significantly faster than WinDirStat due to modern, highly optimized scanning algorithms.

Accuracy: WizTree accurately handles Windows Hard Links (e.g., in the WinSxS folder) and cloud files (OneDrive/iCloud), whereas WinDirStat miscalculates their size.

Maintenance: WizTree is regularly updated and supports modern OS features, while WinDirStat has been abandoned for years

Same as Explorer++, I would approve this with a .ico. I know it's similar to WinDirStat, well... We offer OpenOffice and LibreOffice, one little entry like this one won't damage anybody.

The ICO file was extracted from the app itself
