completion report, always visible legend

Defraggler is awesome!

 

My Suggestions are as follows:

 

- A completion report showing statistics (GB defragged, total duration of defrag, GB/min processed, etc...)

- The legend should always be visible.

- An ETA of defragging the drive after running analyze.

- The ability to schedule Defraggler to run against certain folders / files only. (You can do this manually, but not with a scheduled task)

Absolutely! Maybe it doesn't need to be a page long, but some notification would be nice. Some people don't want such a thing because of defraggler running scheduled tasks in background. So probably the reporting should be optional.

 

- The legend should always be visible.

Maybe this too should be configurable. After a while you certainly know, what the colors mean. And then the legend occupies precious screen space.

ETA - what?

Probably quite useful for certain users. Generally the scheduled tasks should be fully configurable.

ETA = Estimated Time of Arrival

in other words, how long is it going to take or

ETC

Estimated Time of Completion :)

Ah, thanks hazelnut!

 

That would be a VERY nice feature. However, unfeasible to implement, I would say. It would require Defraggler to simmulate the whole defrag run in advance, because there is no direct/linear relation between the remaining data and the time to completion. In fact, it appears to me, that with the current algorithm defraggler ends up with only the smallest files of the drive at the end of defragging and thus the process slows down dramatically in the end.
