hi Digerati,
all of the options are there already as you said, but personally i think it would be just easier to have these all grouped into an options box. i've added a few suggestions, but the rest are there in the program.
regards "background", this is the option to reduce the cpu usage as opposed to crap running when u are not even using defraggler (i am a serious xp/vista "tweaker" so i turn off a lot of the crap that runs in the OS....let alone adding any MORE....so i totally agree with you there man). action >priority > normal/background - is a variable so that would best be either added to the options or removed completely and if the user minimizes the program it could ask "would you like to change the priority to background for less cpu usage" or something like that.
i can't speak for the "general" user, but I work with a lot of audio wav/aiff files (some very large), and with 3D for rendering out image sequences (these can be excessive in both quantity and size. so a regular defrag of my partitions is a normal event (fortnightly or monthly)...also audio programs can have errors if the drive is not defraged as it looks for the next cluster to write to especially at high sample rates as i use in my home studio 96kHz/24-bit.
well thats me for the moment. this is still running since my first post and is at 54% only of a 150gb partition.
