thoste Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Just a third remark: I prefer to not only defrag the hard disc but adjust sorting files to alphabetical path and filname. So D:\aaa\bbb.zip comes before D:\bbb\aaa.zip More and more defrag programs offer this option. Could Defraggler include this option as well in the next release ? Thank you Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted March 15, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 15, 2009 Unless I'm misreading what you mean, I think Defraggler already has that ability. In the File List, click the "Filename" box, and you can switch between alphabetical order, ascending or descending. Alternatively, click the "path" box and you can do the same with that list.

I am NOT talking about the visible result list as it is shown in Defraggler. I am talking about the physical order in which the files are stored on the hard disc!!! Does Defraggler have this option?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't see why you would want to do that? No offense meant, but how would that be beneficial? There's always an exception to the rule. I'm that exception.

I don't see why you would want to do that? No offense meant, but how would that be beneficial? Really? At least O&O Defrag has such an option. Furthermore two other programs (I don't rmemember their name) as well. The reason for such a sort order is to group files together which are most probably read and used together. Say a program has 15 DLLs and 3 config files and 10 help files and more stuff in one directory. If I load/start later the program then the hard disc head position movements are reduced to a minimum. All the stuff can load in one step from one sector of the hard disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmillerusaf Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Maybe I am wrong... I wasn't certain when I first replied. I've never seen it in any defrag program I have used...
