Try this one: 1[at]kandro[dot]de
Replace '[at]' with '@' and '[dot]' with '.'.
1517  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Questions and help / Re: pagefile on: September 18, 2009, 08:39:08 pm
You cannot move the pagefile under Windows. When you disable and reenable the pagefile, Windows will put it at a random location (usually near the beginning of the disk, if enough space is available, I guess)
1518  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Scripts, and other contributions / Re: Script for defragmenting HTPC media drive on: September 18, 2009, 01:56:57 pm
The AddGap(UntilPercentageOfVolumeMultiple(1)) statement from Zone 3 is missing in the second script. You also have to change the '1' to '5' to make a 5% Gap. The gap size in zone 2 is also different.

Keep in mind that SortByNewestDate(Ascending) also takes the last accessed date into account, so the sorting may change every day. To make a single block I would recommend SortByCreationDate(Ascending) to put newest files at the end. More efficient, but may leave small gaps due to unmovable files, would be FastFill(WithShuffling).
1519  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Bugs and problems / Re: 4.2.0beta - screensaver gives error on: September 18, 2009, 09:04:47 am
The only way to solve this is reinstalling MyDefrag 4.1.2.
You are not the only one with this problem: MyDefrag (4.2.0 beta) screensaver won't start on XP
1520  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Requests for new features / Re: MoveUpFill() Function on: September 17, 2009, 10:35:54 am
You can do this in one VolumeSelect:
Remove the first VolumeSelect and put the MakeGap(PercentageOfVolume(100)) statement after FileEnd of the second VolumeSelect.
This will move all *.exe-files down and everything else up.

Btw. the MoveDownFill() statement does nothing, because SortByName() already moved everything down without leaving gaps.
1521  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Requests for new features / Re: SSD disk support on: September 16, 2009, 03:27:17 pm
Ah, OK. I think it would have been clearer if you wrote something like this: "Windows 7 reduces wear of SSDs with the "TRIM" feature"
1522  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Questions and help / Re: disable or enable the "Optimize harddisk when idle" on: September 16, 2009, 01:13:41 pm
In any way a suggest to everyone to disable( set to zero) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContolSet\Control \Filesystem\NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate Wink
I would suggest to turn this feature off (= set to 1, standard in Vista/7), because it will decrease the overall performance. MyDefrag will only make use this feature if it is enabled. You should not confuse this with "frequently accessed files". Also note this item in the LastAccess description:

Some improperly programmed utilities cause a change in the last access time of all items on the disk when they scan the disk. Examples are virus scanners, backup programs, text indexers.
1523  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Requests for new features / Re: SSD disk support on: September 16, 2009, 01:00:53 pm
You question is already answered in the article you posted. The problem is that some SSDs don't support this feature:

Basically, Windows 7 will send TRIM commands down the storage chain, but it's up to the drive to accept the commands and utilize them. In order for TRIM to work, you not only need Windows 7, but you'll need a solid state hard disk which has support for TRIM via its Firmware.
1524  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Questions and help / Re: Daily Defrag Strategy for Gamers on: September 16, 2009, 08:00:50 am
The "import list from boot optimize"... doesn't that only apply on boot partitions?
XP makes entries for files on other partitions in the layout.ini. Win7 only for the system partition. I'm not sure about Vista but I guess it's the same like 7.
1525  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Questions and help / Re: Moving certain filetypes to end of disk script needed on: September 15, 2009, 06:13:45 pm
This should do the trick:

Code:
VolumeSelect
  Name("D:")
VolumeActions

  /* Move everything except special folders down */
  FileSelect  all
              & not (
                DirectoryName("Lataukset")
                or DirectoryName("Fraps")
                or DirectoryName("Anime")
                )
  FileActions FastFill()
  FileEnd
 
  /* Move everything not yet processed up */
  MakeGap(PercentageOfVolume(100))

VolumeEnd

and is it okay to enable the boot optimize function of microsoft and use this to import it like this?
Yes. The function is already used in the standard MyDefrag scripts.

hm so i think the boot optimation from windows is fine if its enabled
Which boot optimization are you talking about? Like jonib said, there is also a function called boot optimization where Windows will place files by itself at a random location to make booting faster. Of course this will heavily mess with the optimization of the MyDefrag scripts. If you don't defrag daily, after a week the disk will look like as if it was never optimized.
The function can be disabled here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction]
"Enable"="N"

The ImportListFromBootOptimization() loads a list which is generated by super/prefetch and has nothing to the with the above setting.
1527  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Bugs and problems / Re: "Analyze Only" causes fragmentation? on: September 13, 2009, 12:06:03 pm
I've also suggested this, but Jeroen thinks otherwise:
http://www.mydefrag.com/forum/index.php?topic=2374.msg14390;topicseen#msg14390

@Jeroen: How about a setting like "TestUnmovables(yes/no)". If you would put this in the AnalyzeOnly script, it would really only analyze the disk -> no file movement, no extra fragmentation (This looks bad in the statistics and diskmap, you know Grin )
1528  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Questions and help / Re: disable or enable the "Optimize harddisk when idle" on: September 13, 2009, 11:54:53 am
Typing the following command in the commandline window or the Run-dialog should generate a new Layout.ini. (May take some time)
Code:
rundll32 advapi32.dll, ProcessIdleTasks
1529  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Bugs and problems / Re: Slow Optimize different in MydefragGui and MyDefrag on: September 13, 2009, 08:41:56 am
MyDefragGUI uses a different statement to create gaps.

MyDefrag: AddGap(UntilPercentageOfVolumeMultiple(0.01)) (first gap) and AddGap(UntilPercentageOfVolumeMultiple(1)) (other gaps)
MyDefragGUI: AddGap(PercentageOfVolume(1)) (for all gaps, can be adjusted in the GUI)

You can find the generated script in the folder "programs" in the folder you installed MyDefragGUI.
1530  MyDefrag v4 Forum / Bugs and problems / Re: 4.1.1 versus 4.1.2 update, lot of unmovables on: September 10, 2009, 08:25:49 pm
The problem is not your script but MyDefrag 4.1.2. You have to install 4.1.1 again to defrag FAT volumes.
