By now, you are all just wandering what happened to defrag version 1. Well, I am working on defrag.
There will be two versions out shortly. One will be the version 1, stable. Same speed, no FAT support. A rather flat in your face screen problem with large disks will be fixed in this release though, (the one where the screen would be completely filled when you did an "unfragment files only" defragmentation). The other will be a new development I am working on. This will feature, hopefully a great speed increase. And FAT32 support. The way I intend to do this is by swapping out data structures to the unused part of the disk. This will allow for more speed up data to be gathered first, especially a hash table in relocating clusters (so the whole disk does not need to be searched constantly), and for FAT32 to be supported. The problem is that you will need to have free space in order to defragment. But then again windows defrag does not even start if you don't have 10% free disk space.
