Defraggler would be better with the choice of fragmentation reported with or without excluded files. As of now, it reports the fragmentation incl excl files, which is confusing, as there is still a % fragmented after a run when u want it to be 0. Also, right click could offer options to defrag incl or excl excl files, and which ones. Also, if defraggler would watch its CPU usage and stay below a set(table) %, and perhaps take its affinity one down if overusing, this could be useful too. Those advanced features could be set standard/basic and only unlocked if user chooses advanced mode, so to keep it simply for the ezpz users. Generally, defraggler rocks!

Hi there! Looking at the sort/search options so far, perhaps the biggest gain would be a tab to sort/search for highest/lowest access frequency. Then the files with the highest access frequency could be defragmented first and access to them be fastest then, hence computer performance increase be max. Not sure but seen it somewhere that NTFS gives data about access frequency, so perhaps it is not to difficult to put that tab next to the fragmentation tab and make the sorts with priority, say #1 frequency, #2 fragmentation, #3 size? Anyway, as it is right now it is already awesome! Thank you so much to the whole Piriform Team!!!

Used defraggler on a totally good drive, hardware ok, chkdsk ok, other test utilities saying ok. Defraggler seemed to work fine. Then tried to undelete a file that was put on and then deleted after using defraggler, so quite a normal thing to do in normal course of computer work. Undelete program could not find any deleted files anymore on that drive, stopped searching after just hitting the find button, also totally unusual. Tried several times. Used other tools to see if drive is fine, chkdsk said drive clean, another tool said "security descriptors wrong". Another undelete program said "Sector Count Invalid , Start Sector Invalid". Tried fixing MBR, MFT, just not partition, as this could have caused loss of all data. Backup of all data succeeded, but errors still to be found. Then, after backup, a little test was done, moving a directory (incl data) with the result that the directory name was moved, but all data in it was lost. Thank God a backup was in place. Can this be a result of defragging \System Volume Information\catalog.wci? What else should one not do with defraggler?
