Software Update: MyDefrag 4.2.2

Spread the love

Jeroen Kessels released a new version of his defragmenter MyDefrag on Sunday. Previously called JkDefrag, this program is no longer open source, but is now released as freeware. MyDefrag has one download that automatically installs a 32bit or 64bit version and still has the signature command-line interface. The defragmenter is script-driven and comes with several default scripts included with the installation, such as Slow Optimize Monthly, Optimize Daily, and Analyze Only. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Changes:

  • Moved several more strings to the Settings.MyD file so they can now be translated.
  • Fixed a bug that would prevent scripts from showing up in the script chooser if the script contained a macro, for example the !Include PATH! macro.
  • Fixed a bug that would crash the script chooser if the user clicked an empty line in the box of scripts.
  • The installer no longer offers to create a scheduled task on Windows 2000. It uses the Windows “Schtasks.exe” commandline utility for that, but that utility does not exist on Windows 2000.
  • Fixed a bug in the AnalyzeOnly script where the statistics per disk were not appended, but would overwrite the entire previous statistics.
  • Changed the way the window positions are saved & restored so they cannot not end up off-screen if the screen has been resized.
  • Renamed WindowSize(normal) into WindowSize(restore), and added WindowSize(fixed).
  • Fixed a bug where the program could enter an infite loop if paused while showing the statistics. This also solves the problem of the statistics not being filled with the numbers.
  • Fixed a bug in the FastFill action where the program could go into an endless loop if a gap was followed by an unmovable file and all items above the gap were bigger than the gap.
  • Fixed a bug in a subroutine that is used by FastFill and SortBy, which was causing various erratic behaviors such as unfilled gaps and files not moved to the proper zone.
  • Fixed a bug that was causing the program to use excessive amounts of memory and in some cases to crash with a “Memory full” error.
