Everytime you run volume analysis, defragmentation or optimization, UltraDefrag produces the file fragmentation report with full list of fragmented files contained on the volume.
UltraDefrag saves file fragmentation reports in the following two formats: LuaReport and PlainText. The first is used by full-featured versions of the program only, the second format is used everywhere to ensure that the report will be accessible even on machines without any web browser installed.
UltraDefrag saves all reports to the root directories of the processed volumes. To open LuaReport click fraglist.luar icon in Explorer or simply click the Report button in UltraDefrag GUI after a disk defragmentation/analysis job completion. To open the PlainText report click fraglist.txt icon in Explorer.
When you are opening the LuaReport a single HTML page generates and opens in your default web browser. It contains a list of fragmented files. Each line contains a number of fragments, filename and a brief comment: [OVR] for files above the size threshold, [DIR] for directories and [CMP] for NTFS compressed files.
By default, all files are sorted by number of fragments in descending order. To change items sorting click top link on the preferred column. Note that it is a slow process (~350 lines/sec on 1.8GHz CPU). Sorting implemented in JavaScript is slow, but very reliable.
Each line of the PlainText report consists of the number of fragments, the file size, the comment and the name of the file.
All files excluded from the defragmentation by filters are excluded from reports too. Trash should not take an attention.
All options related to file fragmentation reports are contained in a single udreportopts.lua file inside an /options subfolder of the program's directory.
To open this file for editing click its icon in Explorer or simply click an appropriate button in UltraDefrag Configuration dialog.
The udreportopts.lua file contains a parameter-value pairs and comments (they are starting with double dashes). However this file is a real program written in Lua programming language.
The following configuration is used by default:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Ultra Defragmenter report options ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- All these options were primarily designed to achieve better -- compatibility with old web browsers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Set enable_sorting to zero if your web browser is too old -- and you have error messages about ivalid javascript code. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- enable_sorting = 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Set this parameter to 1 if you prefer to look at filenames splitted -- into few short lines. If you prefer to use fullscreen mode of your -- web browser then set this parameter to zero. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- split_long_names = 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Set here maximum number of characters per line in filename cells. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- max_chars_per_line = 50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- A web page style can be set through udreport.css style sheet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have problems with configuration files editing, use the Tools > Folder options > File types menu in Explorer to associate the lua extension with your preferred text editor.
