.gzfile and uncompress it- Inspect the
*-primary.xmlfrom it, look inside themetatadataroot element for apackagehaving anameelement with valueopenSUSE-release: thatpackageelement now has aversionelement having averattribute containing the version text.

Two tools I like:
GrandPersctive is good at showing a visual overeview. OmniDiskSweeper is better at gradually drilling down.
Easy installation:
