Defraggler v1.14
Defraggler 1.14 is a small release with two important changes. We've improved one of the ways Defraggler works, and we've added a new feature.
Recycle Bin emptying - It's always wise to empty your Recycle Bin before you defragment. Not only does this free up space on your hard drive, but it gives Defraggler more room to move and reorganize files for optimum speed and efficiency. Defraggler v1.14 now automatically prompts you to do so.
Improved Master File Table handling - The Master File Table (MFT) contains an index of where your files live on the hard drive. By nature it's fixed, and Defraggler can't move it. With this program update, Defraggler handles the files located just around the MFT much more efficiently, so you'll be able to access those files faster in the future.
Here's the full list of changes:
- Added 'Empty recycle bin option' before defrag.
- Improved placement of files around MFT.
- Fixed incorrect defrag button behavior (defrag checked and highlighted while using tabstop).
- Fixed crash occurring after pressing defrag button.
- Fixed tab order on cleanup drive dialog.
- Added Run Defraggler option after installation.
- Added Estonian support.

Defraggler v1.13
Perking right along through the heat of summer, the dev team has released the latest version of Defraggler. We've got a couple of new features, performance improvements, and the usual bits and bobbles.
1. Command-Line Quick Defrag
The last version of Defraggler (v1.12) introduced Quick Defrag, a drop-down selection in the main Defraggler window you can use to run a much faster, though slightly less efficient defrag.
For those of you running Defraggler from the command line, you can now instruct it to use the Quick Defrag option. Here's the syntax:
df.exe [file or filemask or folder or drive label] /QD
To see all of the command-line options, type df.exe /? at a command prompt, or see this topic:
http://docs.piriform.com/defraggler/advanced-usage/command-line-parameters
2. Folder Index entries
Microsoft Windows stores information about files in folders in a hidden file called the folder index. For example, if you create a file in a folder, that folder's index will contain the filename, creation timestamp, an archive bit, and more.
Advanced users may want to view folder index entries in the file list viewable after you analyze a drive.
To set folder index entries as viewable, click Settings, then click Options… On the General tab, click Show folder index entries in file list, and then click OK.
The folder index entries will show up as [Folder Entry] in the list.
Here's the full list of changes:
- Added quick defrag to command line version.
- Added option to view folder index entries in file list.
- Fixed bug related to excessive GDI objects.
- Fixed tab issue in search tab.
- Improved speed of moving very large files to the end of the drive.
- Several minor bugs fixed.

Defraggler v1.12
1. Quick Defrag
Defragmentation is a great way to speed up your PC, but it can also take a fair bit of time. If you remember to start Defraggler before you go to sleep, you'll have a faster PC in the morning.
If you run Defraggler (or any defrag program) while you continue to work, though, you'll notice a slight decrease in performance. Now there's a way for you to do a faster, less involved defrag whenever you want.
Introducing Defraggler's Quick Defrag. When you use the Quick Defrag option, Defraggler will operate about 3-4 times faster. The compromise, though, is that it won't use the most intensive, optimal algorithm to reorganize your files.
Defraggler still works the same way. Once you're ready to defrag, either click the Defrag button, or click the down-arrow next to it and select Quick Defrag.
2. exFAT compatibility
If you use the new exFAT file system for your flash drives under Windows Vista SP1, you'll be pleased to know that Defraggler now has 100% support for exFAT.
Here's the full list of changes:
- Added Quick Defrag feature.
- Added exFAT compatibility.
- Architecture changes to improve defrag performance.
- Improved placement of most commonly used files.
- Various UI tweaks.
