AEon Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Setup: Defraggler v1.06.118 using Windows XP Pro, SP3 I am starting a new suggestion thread because the old one contains many already added suggestions, plus I'd like to get some feedback from the other users here. Some things have been previously suggested, I mention them again to emphasize their, IMO, usefulness. 1) A visual indicator for the Dragbar between Disk Map and Tabs It would be nice to have a visual dragbar separating the disk map from the drive/file list tabs. Additions: Double-click on dragbar to hide the tabs completely and to open them up again. Alternative: A down arrow icon in the dragbar lets the user minimize (or better hide completely) the tabs, thus maximizing the the disk map area (yes, I like to watch the defragmentation in as much detail as possible). An up arrow icon would be shown on the dragbar when the tab area is in minimized (hidden) state, letting the user open up the Drive/File list tabs again on the main screen. 2) Drive List with additional Info Columns - Degree of Fragmentation, Current File As a fan of a large disk map display, I only use the File list tabs when manually quickly defragmenting files. Otherwise I'd minimize it, thus it would be very useful to have a few more stats in the drive list columns at the top of the screen. Once a Analyze (button) has been performed show fragmentation Information in additional columns, i.e. N? of Fragmented Files Total Fragments Fragmentation % of Drive While running Action menu, Defrag Drive ... show the current defrag file in a column next to Status . Show the information of the Status column also in the Defraggler's title bar , letting the user check on the state of defragmentation, when the tool is minimized to the Windows bar at the bottom of the screen (sorry forgot its name)... i.e. it would show (provided minimizing of Defraggler actually works): Periform Defraggler (45%) 3) Remember Size of Drive List, Disk Map, and Tabs areas Since it is now possible to save all setting in an .ini file it should be possible to remember the size of the 3 areas, to avoid having to re-size them every time you restart Defraggler. Also remember if the Tab area is hidden or not (see my suggestion further up). 4) Half-size Disk Map color Squares (blocks) for maximum detail? I run Defraggler on a 1680x1050 screen in full screen mode and love watching Defraggler working on defrags. Since I am a curious fellow, it would be spiffy to half the width and the height of the squares representing the blocks in the disk map, to get four times the block detail . Keeping the one pixel frame (grid) around the blocks should still be fine then. Note: This is intended as an additional alternate mode. The default display mode would still be available for folks that prefer less detail. IMO a huge scrollable disk map (as suggested elsewhere) - like Windows Defrag uses - is not of much use, because you completely loose the overview. 5) File list tab title could show Fragmented File and Fragment counts? Since there is a lot of space left in the Tab titles, I'd suggest updating the " File list " text to show a count for the number of fragmented files shown after a Analyze button run, and the total fragment count. E.g. File list (87 files, 2345 fragments) IMO, it is inconvenient having to look up those numbers in the Drive tab. Hope the suggestions are of some use.
