How about addin the option to just defragment the free space, instead of waiting fo it to defragment files first. This can be useful if you are defragmenting a portable USB Thumb Drive.
Do you really notice a difference if a flash drive is fragmented? I never have, but I don't think mine are very fragmented either.
Since this is a BETA software program and touching the REGISTY is almost blasphemy, LOL, is it really wise for us to be using a BETA program on our delicate and sancorsant registries?
That is for you to decide and is the decision you take when using/testing any beta software.
The Regsitry Defrag can be put in a Stable Version. A Beta version with that feature can be released to testers with a warning that it is Beta and the feature may or may not work properly. TuneUp Utilities has a RegDefrag Option but I would rather have that option in a portable, lightweight version that a large suite of apps that TuneUp has.
Great product so far!
I know that this is nitpicky, but can you update the status bar when doing a defrag (most useful when doing a drive or multi-file defrag) to show which file is currently being defragged?
When I run a full defrag, it sometimes takes a long time for an individual file to defrag, so it would be nice to have a realtime status of what file is taking so long to defrag.
SET IT AND FORGET IT (SCHEDULE) and CHECK FOR UPDATES options will b nice to c speed 4/10
It would be nice if the drive map legend could be shown all the time, maybe a show/noshow option. I agree that showing the file-in-process name would be nice.
Maybe a ETA?
Hey there, first, sorry for my english.
I wonder if it will be possible to choose where to move defragmented files. I do prefer having "much accessed" files at the begining of my hard drive and "less accessed" files at he end of it.
For example, i'm a gamer and i expect having much performance as possible for a particular program.
I hope i made myself clear. Keep on the good work Piriform team.
My best regards
Fist, sorry for my english, well, i was thinking in some ideas for defraggler:
it would be great to add 2 things
You have got to add key for the coloured blocks to know which blocks (files) are fragmented etc. That could go underneath the stop button.
For a very quick gui improvement, I would prefer when I resize the window to see the disk visualization expand automatically instead of the file list. Currently, the file list expands to fill up the space, but if I maximize the window and then use the split bar to expand the size of the disk visualization (I like watching the colors while defragmenting ), the size of the visualization remains fixed when I restore the window to its original size. That hides the file list and main buttons and chops off the bottom of the visualization whereas resizing the visualization (or at least setting a minimum height threshold to the file list to ensure that the buttons are visible) would be more desirable.
This is only a minor issue and should be a minor change to the code. I like the product, found out about it after clicking the flashy new Piriform pear icon in CCleaner
One thing I don't get.. where can you defrag the registry? can't find such a button..
It's probably posted in the wrong sub-section, but I saw someone mentioning it here, that's why..
About the GUI..
How about putting the Drive Map Legend horizontally just beneath the analyzed blocks?
Another thing.. I know that when he is defragging it's.. well.. quite busy.., but it would be nice if you could
adjust the width of the collumns with the file info while defragging.. it's sometimes good to know what files are
fragmented, and it's not very handy stopping the defrag, adjust the width, and then restart..
SET IT AND FORGET IT (SCHEDULE) and CHECK FOR UPDATES options will b nice to c
These two would be very useful.
Seeking for 'Defrag All' + 'Defrag Selected' (multichoice, using CTRL button).
Also - 'Analyze&Defrag' (one button for two operations) - it's quite strange now when you just press 'Defrag' and it doesn't show you what's on your HDD.

The reason you cant find the button is because there is none. Defraggler doesnt defrag the registry.

...although it should do this
My only suggestion is to add an option to defrag all drives with the click of a button... Like do C:\, when that's done, move to D:\, etc. That way I was start it and walk away
suggestion can it be possible defrag system files on reboot?
like raxco Perfect Disk or like avast antivirus that do scan on next reboot.
And they also arrange files in some kind of order i think they put boot files first, then system files then other file by the most use to the less use.
Also other OS support would be Great
Defraggler Seems to be taking quite along time as of late. 10 hours to get to 94%. I still love how defraggler can defrag pretty much anything. Speed would be a big one here thou.
