FileActions - Defragment
Defragment all the selected items. Items that are not fragmented are ignored,
they are not moved.
- Fragmented files are moved to somewhere above the beginning of the zone, possibly
outside the zone.
- Defragment() will not optimize the zone, it does not move all files to the zone.
To do that you need to use another
fileaction, for example FastFill(). But not a SortBy fileaction, because those
will already defragment all items and Defragment() would then do double work.
- There are 2 defragmentation algorithms to choose from.
The
Fast algorithm will only defragment a file
if it can find a gap big enough for the entire file. It will skip files that
are too big for any gap. The default defragmentation algorithm will not give
up so easily, if it encounters a big file and cannot find a big gap then it
will try to make a big gap by shuffling other files around. This can take a
lot of time.
- If the IgnoreWrapAroundFragmentation setting is
active (the default) then wrap-around fragmentation is not defragmented.
