electrodude102 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I was watching defraggler work, and had this (stupid) awesome idea. Could you please make a "tetris" version of defraggler, where, insted of moving single blocks it moves tetris shapes (visuals only, I dont want to actually tetris all the files of my HDD). Obviously this would have to be an April 1st/fools thing, but it would be the greatist update ever. (Y/N). (it doesn't even have to be coded in, it could just be a separate executable that runs on the april 1st release or something ) my terrible MSPaint rendeition is attached.

Moderators Andavari Posted February 22, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 22, 2014 If the blocks fill up does the computer explode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electrodude102 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 maybe when it fills up, the defrag will pause/stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted February 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 24, 2014 or... how cool if, as the blocks (files) come down, you hit the left or right arrow keys to tell DF where the file should go, at last, a solution for moving files to the end of the drive. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators DennisD Posted February 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2014 A great idea mta, although I can see lots of folk wearing their drives out with "I'll just have one more attempt" to get the files exactly as they want them.

Moderators Nergal Posted February 26, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 26, 2014 "I'll just have one more attempt" to get the files exactly as they want them. Wait, aren't they already saying that (seems like it's the most common Deffraggler "gripe" is "files are where I want them" whatever that means) ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF. Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators Andavari Posted February 27, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 27, 2014 or... how cool if, as the blocks (files) come down, you hit the left or right arrow keys to tell DF where the file should go, But in Tetris once you fill up a row the blocks (files in this case) disintegrate. There goes all those family photos, poof there goes the wedding video, poof you were never going to listen to all those albums, and once it starts going faster and your disk finally freezes that maybe not a good thing for files.
