[Tool] MyDefrag Menu Tools

[jonib]

But the thing with the keys: Don't know if it is possible with PowerShell, too ^^.

If you are interested the Autohotkey forum has a ton of cool stuff, and the documentation is very good. I have even added Syntax highlighting support for it but only for Colorer based editors.

How did you get this working? With FastExplorer or the new built-in thing of Win7?

Windows 7 built-in thing. I just have to see how to make it work in the Menu tools. But I will have to keep the FastExplorer for older Windows versions.

I'm using PSPad. Can you make a highlighter for it? It's propably the best editor, but I miss a document outline .

Would you show me how it works? ^^

Support is included in Autohotkey, you just need to install it from AutoHotkey install dir\Extras\Editors\PSPad\

Would you show me how it works? ^^

I'll attach a .reg file that includes my test, you would need to edit the paths before importing. Almost complete documentation here.

Hi!,

Now I know what is causing my problem. I thought it was b'coz of the security apps installed but actually it's because i did not install MyDefrag (on my laptop with vista). I just copied it from my flashdrive to my HDD.

Now, i want to add the context menu not only on folders and files but on drives as well, so that i can analyze the disk faster. Can you provide us the source code for mydmenutools?

Aha, I suspected this when checking the code and have made it so the Menu tools will ask where MyDefrag is if it can't find it.

Now, i want to add the context menu not only on folders and files but on drives as well, so that i can analyze the disk faster.

I'll add the MyDefrag context menu to the drives as well.

Can you provide us the source code for mydmenutools?

Well no , because it's already included in the .zip, You will need Autohotkey and the script needs to be compiled to work.

AWESOMENESS

thank you

I have made this tool in response to this thread Display location of a specific file (or files) on diskmap.

It's a simple tool to easily run a simple MyDefrag script to highlight or defragment a file or directory with MyDefrag now also custom scripts.

The basic idea is that when this tool is installed in Explorers rightclick(context) menu in a MyDefrag submenu, you can rightclick on any file or directory and choose "Highlight" then MyDefrag will start and show the file highlighted in its diskmap or "Defragment" to defrag a file or a whole directory.


It can also be run directly from the commandline or a shortcut with a FullPath compatible filepath, to show for example all .exe files on a volume. only difference with FullPath is that you need to always provide a drive letter or it wont work.
Example:

Code:

MyDMenuTools.exe F:\*.iso

Will show all *.iso files on the F: drive. The default script used is Highlight.MyD, if you put another script name before the path that script will be used instead.

Code:

MyDMenuTools.exe Defragment.MyD F:\*.iso

Will defragment all *.iso files on the F: drive.

How to use custom scripts or change the default scripts:
Two things are needed for a script to work, first CommandlineVolumes() is used to specify which volume to run MyDefrag on, second is FullPath("!FilePath!","!FileName!") including the !FilePath! and !FileName! macros are used to send the filepath to MyDefrag.
The scripts have to be put in the same directory as the tool, if you add/delete a script or change the title of a script you need to uninstall and then reinstall to update the menu.

How to install:(if you installed a previous version you should uninstall before)
If you want to install the rightclick context submenu options, just extract the files where you want them and then run MyDMenuTools.exe and it will ask to install the Explorer rightclick submenu. Most probably it needs to be run as administrator when installing.

How to uninstall:
Just run MyDMenuTools.exe and when asked to uninstall choose yes and then remove the files.

This is the fourth beta release and might contain bugs.
Download MyDMenuTools.zip includes the .exe file and the original AutoHotkey script.

MyDefrag Menu Tools uses Fast Explorer Context Menu Extension DLL to create the MyDefrag submenu.

cool
but where does it put the folder in the hard disk , beginning or middle or at the end of the hard disk?

thanks a lot man!

It just defragments by selecting the directory. It depends on MyDefrag where the dir is actually placed.

The default Defragment script uses the Defragment(Fast) action and doesn't specify where a file is defragmented to, MyDefrag just tries to find a big enough space to defragment to.

If you want to place it somewhere specific you can create/modify a script to do that.

This is an example script, I will add to the next release, Move to end of volume. Just put it in the same directory as MyDMenuTools.exe and reinstall, I'll see if I can make the menu detect new scripts so a reinstall isn't necessary.

Code:

Title('Move to end of volume')
Description('Move selected files/directories to the end of the volume')

WhenFinished(wait)

ExcludeFiles(Not(FullPath("!FilePath!", "!FileName!")))

VolumeSelect
  CommandlineVolumes()
VolumeActions
  FileSelect
    FullPath("!FilePath!", "!FileName!")
  FileActions
    MoveToEndOfDisk()
  FileEnd
VolumeEnd
