This extension helps gather info on FileSystem memory usage.
- Use Brackets normally for a while
- Debug > Report FS Stats
- Debug > Show Developer Tools
- In the Console tab, copy everything between the "============" dividers
- In the Profiles tab, select Take Heap Snapshot and click the snapshot button
- Record the total heap size (shown in the left-hand sidebar under "Snapshot 1"
- In the filter field near the upper-left, type "file". Locate "File" in the list below (should be first).
- Record the object count, shallow size and retained size (both number and percentage).
- For good measure, you may also want to save the snapshot so we can review it in more detail later - right-click the "Snapshot 1" entry and choose Save.
Note: This may cause Dev Tools to freeze for a few seconds before the Save dialog appears.
