Download JkDefrag 3.24

JC Kessels has released an upgrade of JKDefrag. The program has therefore arrived at version number 3.24 and can be downloaded for the 32bit- and 64biteditions of Windows. JKDefrag is a lightweight and open source program that can defragment hard drives, USB sticks and floppy disks. The software features a command line interface for use in a dosbox or administrator script. Those who prefer to use JKDefrag via user interface can download a gui from the website by Emiel Wiel Draaijer. Posted below are the changes from version 3.24:

Changes:

• A final fix for the out of sequence problem. Beta tests by users show that the problem is now finally fixed.
• Bugfix for missing parameter in status message that caused JkDefrag to crash when it wanted to display the “Cannot find volume name for mountpoint” message. This message can happen when scanning the system for disks and a special volume is encountered such as a “subst” volume.
• The “25 largest items on disk” list in the statusreport is now sorted by (used) clusters instead of by (allocated) bytes.
• Fixed the progress percentage during analysis of NTFS volumes. It was counting too fast and reached 100% before analysis was complete.
• The “unmovable”, “still fragmented”, and “largest 25” lists in the report are now suppressed if empty.
• Directories on FAT disks cannot be moved, this is a known limitation of the Microsoft defragmentation API and not a bug in JkDefrag. To speed up things the program will now count the number of failed tries to move directories, and when it reaches 20 will ignore all directories.
