Software Update: MyDefrag 4.1.1

Jeroen Kessels has again released an update of his defragmenter MyDefrag. Previously called JkDefrag, this program is no longer under an open source license, but is still free to use. MyDefrag has one download that automatically installs a 32bit or 64bit version and still has the signature DOS interface. The defragmenter is script-driven, and several default scripts are included with the installation, such as Slow Optimize, Fast Update, and Analyze Only. As the small jump in version number indicates, this release contains only minor changes and improvements:

Changes in version 4.1.1:

• Optimized the subroutine that searches for contiguous fragments.
• Fixed a bug that would prevent the program from running (immediate finish) without a proper error message, if there was a directory called “Settings” anywhere in the path. Also added some extra error messages in case there is a problem executing a script.
• Optimized the subroutine that vacates items out of the way.
• Disabled the OtherInstances(ask) setting for the screensaver.
• The “F1” key now looks for the manual in the installpath, instead of always using “C:\Program Files\MyDefrag v4.X\Manual.chm”.
