The title sums it up. Basically, I prefer to manually begin defrags instead of scheduling them. Most of us have probably heard the recommendation to leave a defrag running overnight, while sleeping, or otherwise when you won't be using the computer. Because of that, I love the 'shutdown after defrag' option.
The problem is that I have multiple drives. I'd like to defrag them in one run, and waking up to check the defrag status is inconvenient, to say the least. Not to mention the computer will likely have been idling for some time when I do check, which is wasteful and I'd prefer not to have that happen. So far, it looks like the closest to automatically setting a drive to 'defrag next' is to schedule a one-time defrag. The problem is I don't know how long it'll take my first drive to defrag, and if I try to guess at the time, I'm pretty sure I run the risk of either idle time, or the second drive trying to start while the first one is still going, which Defraggler doesn't seem to allow.
(I am actually kind of curious why you can't defrag two drives simultaneously. I guess it's possible it could get the drives or processes confused during defrag, though at the same time it doesn't seem too likely... If simultaneous defrag is possible to do without too many problems, I'd also like that as an option. However, I'll trust Piriform's judgement on that one.)
But anyway, yes, basically, I'd like the option to select a drive and add it to a queue of drives to defrag next. The next drive could start as soon as the one before it is finished, minimizing wait time. Once all drives are finished defragging, the computer could then shut itself down if the option is selected.
If you could add such a feature, I'd appreciate it. =)
