Excluded files continue to be defragged during a schedule.

When files have been excluded and sent to the rear of the drive, upon a schedule execution of defragmentation, those excluded files become part of the mix and are grouped with the other files and become defragged; this is a problem.

 

Very Concerned!

When executing a defrag session via its GUI, the excluded file remain untouched and at the end of the drive but when a defrag session is automated using DF schedule feature, the scheduled instance of a DF session re-incorporates those end of the drive files (excluded) files back into the main fold.  The logic of a scheduled DF session needs to account for excluded files.
