| | Re: [Defragmentation] Feature request! Well, I see. As I have disabled the background defragmenting, I run the whole thing manually from time to time and so it would be quite nice to see a bit more of what's going on. Would you recommend to use another defragmentation tool? Maybe there are some out there (maybe Freeware) that offer some visualization.

| | Re: [Defragmentation] Feature request! Most people have better things to do with their time than sit and watch little boxes or bars being shifted around. The Vista defragmenter is a background service that does what must be done - when your computer is idle. It needs no interaction from you and is sufficient for the task.

But I have no clue as to what it did. Is it caught in a loop? m Quote: > "Markus Eßmayr" <essmayr/at/racon-linz.at> wrote in message > news:%23mgfesHoIHA.4928@xxxxxx Quote: >> Hello to the defragmentation-tool-developer-team, >> >> please please add some progress information to the tool. >> Thanks very much! >> >> Max >> |

| | Re: [Defragmentation] Feature request! If you want to see what's going on for free Auslogics is good. I use Diskeeper which is not free but has a very nice interface with lots of options like offline defrag, and automatic defrag. It's a top-notch program and works great. It does have a full function free trial.

| | Re: [Defragmentation] Feature request! Why is it so hard to understand what this person wants. A lot of people want to see what is going on.

| | Re: [Defragmentation] Feature request! I'm with you, Mark. Have been using Diskeeper for several years, now, on several units - it's efficient and reliable, and I love being able to customize when it does its thing and how often. I have it defragging my tower's drives and my USB drive as well, in the wee small hours when I'm asleep.
