Seems like a bad restriction. People may keep some of their files outside their home directory (I do). And what about scanning external disks like CD-Rs or flash drives?

Of all the directory-scanning apps I’ve seen (OmniDiskSweeper, GrandPerspective, etc.) I can’t think of any that restrict what directory you can scan.
