NEW FEATURE - BY FILES

[DARIO BORTOLINI]

Jeroen,

I called up you in the phone today, October 5th, around 3 pm (Amsterdan time).

I'm suggestion you one feature, "defrag once in lifetime".

Basically, I would like to suggest this: the fastest part of one HD is the external one. So, all the programs that must be installed (Windows, Office, Adobe Reader, etc) MUST BE PUT IN THE EXTERNAL PART OF THE HD, because this programs must be acessed quickly, they must be fast in their execution.

The internal part of the HD is - evidently - slower. So, you could put in this part all things that are data (music, photo, videos), because this files do not demand speed in their running.

Another sugesttion: before Mydefrag begging to run, you could put a program that clean temporary files. So, the programs both clean the HD as defrag it. More than this, the defragmentation will be faster if the program do not need to replace temporary files. And the computer will stay - evidently - faster.

Thanks for you attention.

Dario

Hi,

what exactly do you mean by "defrag once in lifetime" ?

Concerning External/Internal HD parts, MyDefrag already does exactly this.

Concerning temporaries, it is better to let it on users, what program, when and in what extent a tool would perform cleaning.
Otherwise Jeroen would be often blaimed for MyDefrag corrupted the disk data.

Users are free to use runProgram command at the start of the script and it will stay to be their responsibility to tame a cleaner.
It is not in the standard script for good reason, user must know what he is doing.
