Hello,i just want to no if MyDefrag make Defragmentation tipe "FreeSpace"

I'm sorry but I do not understand your question.

and when we can have a version Final 

As soon as possible
MyDefrag is basically a hobby and I work on it when I have time and am in the mood. I do not have a release schedule. At the moment I am still working to get a couple of kinks out of the beta, slowly but surely.

There was something called "consolidate free space" in some earlier defragmenters. I don't know if this is still in use or already obsolete. As far as I understand he might think about that...

Yes this is a my question sorry to do not put correctly.
Are MyDefrag make Consolidate Free Space and Defragment a Paging Files!?

...p.s.Mr.Kessels don't worry take your time ,i'll be pation for this Final Version

Simply consolidating free space is of dubious value in most circumstances, unless you are about to place a very large file on the disk.

By its very nature, MyDefrag running with it's default script <em>will</em> consolidate most of the free space into a large contiguous area at the end of the disk as a side effect of its optimizing all the files.

If you wanted to completely consolidate the space, then it would be easy to create a script that had a single file zone designated, with all files in it, and Defrag and FastFill as the actions. This would defragment everything and move all the files to the front of the disk, filling the free spaces as efficiently as it can.

As for the page file, there is a FAQ about JkDefrag (the previous version that became MyDefrag) at http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/index.html which includes a question How do I defragment "c:\pagefile.sys"?. MyDefrag itself will not (in the foreseeable future) defragment the paging file, since it uses the Windows Defrag API, which refuses to handle this file. Unless Microsoft change this behaviour, MyDefrag is very unlikely to support this.

If only consolidation of free space is important then the following script should be sufficient:

Code:

VolumeSelect
  Name("C:") #Put your drive letter here

VolumeAction

  FileSelect
    all
  FileActions
    Defragment(ChunkSize(64))
    FastFill()
  FileEnd

VolumeEnd

Ohh, mea culpa I apologize. I tried to pick the gender and that name deceived me According to your written "accent" you could be... French?

Because page file is countinuously used by Windows there is a lock on it and won't be moved when Windows is online. Maybe a boot-time defrag. But MyDefrag does not do that and it is not necessary anyway. The most simple way to defrag paging file is to remove it completely (I mean turn it off or place it on another drive), defrag the rest of the drive with slow- or fastoptimize, and the turn it back on. Windows usually does not break it into pieces if it has enough continuous free space to hold the page file. And remember to make it fix size so it will not get fragmented later.

Thank you!....It's nice to no that!
