XP Only Bug: (XP / XPSP1 / XPSP2 / XPSP3 / Media Center XP / Home XP / Pro XP - 32 & 64 Bit)
- "Telephone" brackets around the "Analysis Results" & "Current State" parenthesis -> Note, this isn't a problem with a font thingie like listed earlier, or at least I do not think it is, because if that is so, why would the right parenthesis show up fine, but the left is "telephony" looking?
32 & 64 Bit Windows XP/Vista/7 Bugs:
- Shows "removable drives" -> This can result in a long string of drives. Sometimes 8 or 10 drives long, which just adds to the confusion. Also shows "floppy drive(s)". Who really defrags floppies? Is that even safe, lol!
- Locked removable drives -> If you attach a removable USB drive while Defraggler is running, it will lock it so that you cannot remove it until you either stop Defraggler, or just brute force remove it instead of using Safe Eject.
- RPM "Unsupported" Rotation Rates -> Defraggler will load the correct rotation, but some bug will cause it to NOT show the drive RPM on a lot of drives, once fully loaded. You can use a very slow machine to see Defraggler (correctly) load these drives, then claim they are not "supported" once fully loaded.
- Random unconsolidated files -> Defraggler will leave a few files (AVG files / System Log Files / Etc.) that are never pulled tight with the rest of the files on the drive. I'd LOVE if it can reign in these "stragglers" as I call them, & leave my drive with that nice/neat/tidy feeling. I already use the excludes, & exclude Hiber & Sys Restore, so that is taken care of. Granted, it usually is only a few, but I do like to know that my drive is tight when it is complete! The way it is now, when I see 100%, I am disappointed to see a few scattered files here & there. Makes me feel like it is saying 100% complete, when it is really only 92% or so. Or 95%. Whatever. The biggest problem with this, is it interferes with partitioning a drive. Leaving a user either incapable of partitioning (With Windows partition management), else a much smaller partition than should be required.
Partitioning may be achieved through 3rd party apps, but I suspect, at the expense of the partition lines being all over the drive, & a slight performance hit.
- Scheduler bug -> Defraggler did not load after setting it to do so on my 32 Bit 7. No DF.exe or anything. Timer silently passed the scheduled time, & nothing happened. Hmmmm....
- Setting Defraggler to use a right-click menu doesn't work if you select "Save settings to .ini". In fact, the ONLY way to get it back, is to re-run setup, after of course, you have disabled the save settings to .ini.
- Boot Time Defrag no longer works in 2.10 -> Newest defraggler fixes both my problems with this. Issue removed.
