Logs, Settings and Scripts, Usable Diskmap region, Moving files, Unmovable

[Tracey2031]

already posted on Jan21 2011 Enhancement #1) Use a separate log/debuglog for each concurrent MyDefrag session/instance.

Enhancement #2)  I think it would be a good feature to allow, if not already, the Settings.MyD file to have the defaults as desired and the separate scripts (and zones within the scripts if possible) to be customized as desired
For example, have RememberUnmovables(no) in Settings.MyD and use RememberUnmovables(yes) in selected scripts as desired.

Enhancement #3)  Right clicking on diskmap region copies the path/filename (as applicable), beginLCN & byteSize tab delimited to clip board.
 Right click-n-drag over diskmap region copies the path/filename(s) (as applicable), beginLCN(s) & byteSize(s) tab delimited to clip board (for that region).
 All of this information is already being displayed at the bottom of the screen at time of mouseover.
 A contiguous empty region can be reported as beginLCN & byteSize rather than reporting every individual LCN

Enhancement #4)  When making room for defraging files, the files moved should be put towards the end of the disk, out of the way, so the same files are not moved repeatedly (if not already) unless you can determine the zone in which it belongs.

Enhancement #5)  Show the %complete on the tab in the task bar.

Enhancement #6)  Identify WrapAroundFragment files as WrapFragment instead of Unmovable to allow an accurate conclusion to be drawn from the MyDefrag reporting facility.

Enhancement #7)  Be able to specify move files down (towards the end) when using FileSelect Fragmented(yes) followed by FileActions Defragment(Fast)

Thanks, Tracey

Not exactly what you're asking but you can copy the path\filename in focus with CTRL+C.

Sorry, I think I do not understand your idea. It sounds exactly like what MyDefrag already does....

Thanks for sharing your idea, I will consider it.

Enhancement #4)  When making room for defraging files, the files moved should be put towards the end of the disk, out of the way, so the same files are not moved repeatedly (if not already) unless you can determine the zone in which it belongs.

Sorry, but that would make MyDefrag slower, not faster. It has been discussed several times before, I hope you won't mind me not explaining again here.

Enhancement #5)  Show the %complete on the tab in the task bar.

Thanks for sharing your idea, I will consider it.

Enhancement #6)  Identify WrapAroundFragment files as WrapFragment instead of Unmovable to allow an accurate conclusion to be drawn from the MyDefrag reporting facility.

Files that are wrapped around unmovable data are not unmovable.

Enhancement #7)  Be able to specify move files down (towards the end) when using FileSelect Fragmented(yes) followed by FileActions Defragment(Fast)

I suspect that your intention here is to emulate your "Enhancement #4". But MyDefrag does not work like that. When files have been placed in a zone (in your case at the end of the disk) then they cannot be selected again in a subsequent zone. The files will stay at the end of the disk for the remainder of the script.

Enhancement #5)  Show the %complete on the tab in the task bar.

Thanks for sharing your idea, I will consider it.

This percentage could also be shown as taskbar progress in Windows 7. The percentage could be calculated as total percentage by dividing the 100% into the number of zones to process. This would give the average user a clue how far the process is done and how much is left.
