More efficient defraggler skin

[Super Fast]

Currently, there are several things I would like to change about Defraggler:

 

- Adjustable tabs -> As Defraggler tacks on more + more tabs, please allow users to remove the ones they do not use.

- More efficient skin -> Why is it so hard for Defraggler to show more than 3 drives without scrolling, + drive space bars for each (like win 7)?

- Inline defrag -> Defraggler shows a huge page with details for a drive. Why can't it just display size/health/defrag % on the same line as the drives?

- Easier multi-drive selection -> Most users probably don't know you can highlight multiple drives for defrag. Please include checkboxes.

- Defrag multiple drives at once -> Maybe it cut it to serially defrag drives back in the 80's when PC's were dog slow, but it's far from efficient on modern PC's.

Example:

_____

 

[ ] C: Health Good | 100GB/25GB free | 29% Fragged/67% complete defragged

[ ] D: Health Good | 100GB/25GB free | 25% Fragged/40% complete defragged

[ ] E: Health Good | 100GB/25GB free | 35% Fragged/72% complete defragged

[ ] F: Health Good | 100GB/25GB free | 11% Fragged/99% complete defragged

[ ] G: Health Good | 100GB/25GB free | 88% Fragged/23% complete defragged

Defraggler should treat drives with multiple partitions as 1 drive.

_____

 

Example:

_____

 

Disk C:

Disk D:

------------------------------------------

Disk E:

Disk F:

Disk G:

------------------------------------------

Disk H:

Disk I:

Disk J:

Disk K:

_____

 

Where dotted line indicates grouping of partitions belonging to a single drive.

I'm sure they could use inline bars showing health/disk size/frag levels.

Windows 7 uses bars for drives to show % full.

 

This would waste far less space in defraggler.

The current way shows details on only 1 drive at the time, while taking up the whole page to do it!

We are far from the days where users only use 1 drive at a time.

 

* Last Piriform outtage took pic with it, so I edited post to show what I mean using text instead.

If you're going to add all that why not a "Defrag All" button. I personally like defrag software that can do just that, so long as it queue's other disks and doesn't try to do them all at once.

[Winapp2.ini]

or perhaps an option to do them all at once or queue defrags.

+1 to what Super Fast is proposing.

Ability to simultaneously defrag my System drive and my partition image backups drives would get me very excited - in a bad way

Alas, for me, defraging my drives would really only benefit one of them. (C:\ is an SSD)

What happened to D:\, E:\, and H:\ ?

Were they defragged to death ?

[Winapp2.ini]

They're too full to effectively defrag
