Platform - Windows 10
Device - Western Digital 3TB External USB connected HDD
Issue - The option to manually move files to the end of the drive will move all files chosen on occasion, but mostly only some.
Steps:
Open Defraggler with "Run as Admin" or without
Select Ext HDD
Chose Analyze
Using bitmap on screen, select a square
In the file list below right click - choose "highlight folder"
Right click again and chose "Check highlighted"
Rick click and choose "Move checked to end of drive"
Defraggler will show the progress listing the files it is moving and the bitmap shows the reads (Yellow) and writes (Green) in the bitmap screen
a percentage of the time it moves all files selected, other times a subset, at times 1 and on occasion none
Ditto if I choose to not check the files highlighted and instead choose to "Move Highlighted to end of drive"
Restarting Defraggler as admin "cleans up the process" but over time it recurs.
Q1. What is the file select limit in this screen - I am working on thousands of small files and wonder if I am exceeding the file select limit
