You can also get a date modified distribution,

Hi Darren,
Don’t grok SpaceMonger, the interface is “unsusual” aka idiosyncratic and non-intuitive. People can easily visually parse piecharts and barcharts but the nested structure of SpaceMonger is over complicated and attempts to display to much information at once.
