JKDefrag Screensaver - Laptop on battery power

[rd3624]

Would it be possible to include a configuration option to allow JKDefrag Screensaver to run on a laptop powered by battery?

The screensaver contains a test and will not run if the computer is on battery power. People have asked for this in the past, because harddisk activity uses up a lot of battery power. Version 4 will have an option where you can turn this off. In the mean time all you have to do is plug in the computer into a wall socket. Or run the Windows version of JkDefrag by hand.

Thanks Jeroen. After thinking about it, I thought there may have been implications regarding file system corruption if for example the battery went out. I really am not concerned with the fact that it will drain the battery at a faster rate.

BTW, thank you for an excellent utility.

I have never heard from anyone losing data because JkDefrag was interrupted in any way, including battery empty. NTFS disks are sturdier than FAT, but even for FAT there have never been any problems.
