Anaylize in second thread?

[lh]

Dont know if this would be possible.  But it could speed things up a bit?

It looks like each zone is worked thru 1 at a time analysis then movement.  I was wondering if it would be possible to start analyzing the next zone while the current zone is being processed.  As on my machine the analysis of a couple zone I have takes a decent amount of time.  Dont know if it would help or not.  For the monthly script it probably makes little difference but on the daily scripts it could help them to finish faster?

Would probably have to have something so if anything changes in the pre analyzed blob changes the analysis would need to be done again?

Just a suggestion...

Thanks for sharing your idea, I appreciate it. But no, I'm afraid it's not possible. MyDefrag needs complete information about all the files on the disk before it can do anything, not only information about the files in the current zone. Also, analysis is reading the MFT (or the FAT), and files in the MFT are not ordered the same as on the disk. So analysis has no choice but to work it's way through the entire MFT, it cannot analyze only the files in a particular MyDefrag zone.
