It would be nice to have an options shortcut (--tree?) that makes dust behave more like tree, by that I mean:

  • Unsorted (alphabetically sorted?) output
  • No line-limit
  • No bars
  • Optionally: --no-filesizes

@bootandy commented on GitHub (May 7, 2020):

  • No, I don't want to do (1), dust should always sort by size
  • dust -d 99 in practise gives you no line limit. If you want true no line limit I think using 'du' would be better.
  • dust -b gives no bars
  • I can't think why anyone would not want file sizes on the output as I think this is the main usage of dust is to show file sizes.

Thank you for your suggestion but I will decline.
