Willy2 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I have de-installed v1.12 and have gone back to v1.10. I simply dislike the GUI of v1.11 and v1.12. The reason why I dislike the GUI is mentioned in post #236 of this thread. System setup: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/gcNzIPEjEb0B2khOOBVCHPc A discussion always stimulates the braincells !!!

jperez112233 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I saw suggestion about options to log off and restart after defrag. Can you add ability to run some application after defrag finish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmix Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm too lazy to read all topic, but i have some suggestions: 1. Ability to consolidate folder entries and place them either near MFT or in the beginning of disk 2. Ability to choose most used files and folders and move them to front of the disk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proton Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 How about a LEGEND displayed on the "Drive Tab" for reference of block color ID Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnm Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 - Add an option to move all System Restore files to the end of the disk Yes! Or even better: when you select any file by checking its box in the file list, have an option to move it to the end of the disk. Defraggler is wonderfully useful for checking the status of drive. But when I see one file in the middle of a free area, I so wish I could move just that file, not just defrag it (it might not be fragmented).

Don Baechtel Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I would like to be able to pick and delete files directly from the File List after Analyze. Usually Log files that I do not need. Defraggler often moves a large file up and then moves it down again near the end of defrag. Moving it twice oftens wastes alot of time. Defraggler is very slow when compacting many small files. May take an hour or more to do 1%. There should be a better way of compacting many small files that are close together. Defraggle is generally very good, but could be better if it were more effecient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Censor Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I would like a defrag feature to sort files on disk by folder. Lets imagine a larger disk, like 1000GB and we have installed like 30 games, each is his folder. But each folder, even with 0% fragmentation, can has all files spread along the 1000GB disk, reducing disk performance by a lot. Example hard disk random sorted: d:\ -FolderGame1 -SubFolder2Game10 -SubFolder1Game5 -FolderGame7 -FolderGame8 -SubFolder1Game7 -SubFolder1Game1 -SubFolder2Game2 -SubFolder2Game3 . . . And that's only with folder, files can be stored even worse. I would like to do a sort-defrag by folder, to sort files in drive stored contiguous in the same region of hard disk, reducing disk head movements and greatly improving performance. Example hard disk sorted: d:\ -FolderGame1 -SubFolder1Game1 -SubFolder2Game2 -FolderGame2 -SubFolder1Game2 -SubFolder2Game2 -FolderGame3 -SubFolder1Game3 -SubFolder2Game3 . . . The only way I found to get something like this, is store each game on separated partitions, and believe me, it great improves hard disk performance but is a pain to manage. I hope you will add such feature to Defraggler, thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aethec Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 C:\System Volume Information\ should be excluded by default and should not count when calculating fragmentation.

cnm Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 In addition to being excluded from defrag, I would like to see System Volume Information and all the _RESTOREs moved to the slow end of the partition and left there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knowntime Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Also, when ever you start a Quick Defrag, it takes several minutes to actually begin. After it instantly analyzes, it says "Quick Defrag started." and then it takes sometimes almost as long as 10 minutes for it to actually begin or start showing the progress.

MikeYates Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I suggest you obtain the statistic "Number of Free Space Fragments" and display it in the user interface, preferably in real-time. It is available in the built-in defragger of Vista, 2008 and Win7. (/a /v) IMHO it is the only meaningful measure of how fragmented a disk has become because "1%" can mean that the most frequently read thousand files of a typical 100,000 file system volume are fragmented with over a thousand fragments each! It is much more important to prevent FUTURE fragmentation by "closing the gaps" than to join up presently fragmented files. Under 100 gaps is a really good result for an active system disc.

MikeYates Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 My ideal defrag program would have these options (or buttons) for each drive:- 1) Defrag files (quick) 2) Defrag space (not so quick) 3) defrag files while dfragging space (slow) 4) defrag files, then defrag space (useful when available time unknown) 5) sort files, oldest first, while defragging files and space (very slow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnm Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If this hasn't already been mentioned: Be able to move one selected file to the end of the partition. (UltimateDefrag says they will have this in their upcoming new rev.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picablu Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Auto-Update Feature: Just like CCleaner has, that way it is easier to keep up-to-date. Also, make options in a feature to let you know if the update is Beta or a Major Release. Portable Version: Just like CCleaner has so that when the program is installed, there is nothing left on the host computer, including an association that lists the program in the Add/Remove Programs list. Registry Defrag: Add an item in the list that shows the drives to defrag that lets you also defrag the registry upon reboot. Also add an option to automatically defrag the registry and auto-reboot after defragmentation of the selected drive is complete. Perhaps add options to do one of the following once defrag of the current drive is complete: - Close Program - Log Off User - Shut Down - Restart And make it possible to queue other drives for defrag. For example, I could set it to defrag my internal hard drive first. Once complete, begin defrag of my external hard drive, then defrag my USB drive. Add a feature to run a scheduled defrag every day, week or month. I know this is possible thru a feature already included in Windows but integration of the scheduling feature would be nice. I'm pretty new here, but have been using Defraggler. I really like your thoughts on portability. I'm far from 'knowledgeable' about computers, but am learning a lot. As for automatic update, it seems to me this action would have to be programmed to run preceeding a defrag when the portable device is activated.

Picablu Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 In addition to being excluded from defrag, I would like to see System Volume Information and all the _RESTOREs moved to the slow end of the partition and left there. Hi, I'm pretty new here, but lerning a lot from other members. I used Defraggler for the first time a couple of days ago. Yours is the only message here that mentions System Volume Information. Now I understand why several of my SFI file remained fragmented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picablu Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 How about a LEGEND displayed on the "Drive Tab" for reference of block color ID That would have been nice. Just used Defraggler for the first time, had no clue what that "graph" up there was trying to tell me. Finally dug around in "Help" enough to learn about it.

Lots of users are confused because of this. I'm one of the confused users. Just used Defraggler for the first time. I have several fragmented SFI files on this one month old computer. Does this explain why I have a 25% fragmentation, which seems abnormally high to me, even after defrag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also add an option to automatically defrag the registry and auto-reboot after defragmentation of the selected drive is complete. 3.Background Defrag (like AutoDefrag in Smart Defrag, this is one really nice feature of theirs); and it could be improved upon by allowing specific directories/folders to be chosen for the background defrag. This would prove very helpful for anyone with large database files(MySQL. etc.) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some of my suggestions: 1) I'm not sure if the they improve Defraggler moving files to the front, but that would be nice as the Documentation still say that it will attempt to move them. 2) A collapsing legend somewhere close to the animated legend to tell you what each color means when you hover over it could be add. 3) When you missed a scheduled defrag, could have an option to start the process next time the computer starts up. And when in the middle of a scheduled defrag and you try to shutdown, the program notifies you and have an option to proceed with the shutdown and resume the process next time the computer starts or wait till the Defraggler finishes.
