Hey,

Just joined this forum and I use Piriform products quite a bit. They are really good and useful tools.

1 suggestion that I have come across whilst using it is can the Drive Map Legend become visible by default next to the Properties area. It seems like a good thing to put there and would save people from having to open it up manually every time. Also, I take it that when a colour is faint or extra dark, it means how badly or less fragmented a file is. Is that correct?

If so then maybe a note could be added under the drive map legend to let users know at a glance!

Thanks

Regards,
Neil

Pale blue/red => Few files
Dark blue/red => Lots of files ;)

Even so, the simple version should at least be added onto the main screen

Add my vote to having a Legend on the dialog (above or below Drive Map) :)

This would make it simple for ALL users to know what the colors mean, without having to use the settings dialog nor ask the question in the forum.

I think that would be a good idea, and judging by the number of queries about it, a worthwhile change.


EDIT: Welcome to the forum by the way.

It will be great to place drive map legent close to status and properties in main window that we could see any time we need it and not go to Help section.
