New downloads in PowerUsers Downloads section Articles / Software Date: Mar 11, 2007 - 12:00 AM I've added two new applications to the downloads area. Well, actually, one is new and the other is an updated version of an older app. The first is an updated version of Switch. Switch is a text replacement program that lets you quickly and easily make changes to text files. If you've ever tried to do a find and replace on a large document in Notepad and seen how LONG that can take, you'll appreciate the speed of Switch which can make changes to even the largest documents in a couple of seconds or less. The second application is a new one I call DefragBySize and it does just what it sounds like it does - defragment files based on their filesize. You can run it manually or from a BAT file or by scheduling it (for, say, automated weekly defrags) and it will defrag the subdirectory (or whole drive) you give it file-by-file in order from the largest files to the smallest. The theory here being that this increases the chances of large files being defragmented properly since they will get first stab at large areas of contiguous free space. Or, at a minimum, it saves the defragmenting app from having to move the already-fragmented small and medium-sized files out of the way when you get to the large ones that need more contiguous space which is being occupied by them. Both of these utilities are self-documenting as all my apps are. See the accompanying text document with each download for more details.
