  1. A little embarrassed now... it actually works! I'm a little embarrassed now :oops: ... SmartDefrag DOES update the volume list when I connect an external HDD. It turns out the whole "problem" was due to a combination of Windows taking a looong time to display the volumes on this particular disk (not only in SmartDefrag, but in Windows Explorer as well), and me being a little short on patience. After a bit of waiting, I concluded that it wouldn't update, so I shut down SmartDefrag and restarted it. The extra time spent on that was of course enough for the system to recognize the volumes, while I thought the restart had done the trick. (Same procedure several times). Anyway, thanks for your replies, and sorry for wasting your time! :oops:
  2. Manually refreshing volume list I totally agree about keeping the amount of processes running constantly to a minimum, so an automatic detection isn't really necessary. But I'd still like to have a manual "Refresh/rescan volumes" somewhere in the GUI. I've been using SmartDefrag for a while now, and I mostly like the program, which seems to be doing a good job without wasting a lot of resources.
  3. Smart Defrag doesn't detect when an external disk is connected Maybe I'm missing some trivial point here, but it seems SmartDefrag won't update the list of volumes/partitions when an external disk is connected. By default, SmartDefrag will start with Windows, and run in the background, so it will usually already be running when I connect the disk(s). To force SmartDefrag to notice the "new" disk, I have to go to the system box, right click SmartDefrag and choose Exit, then restart the program from the start menu. This isn't hard to do, but a bit more cumbersome than it should be. Ideally, SD should automatically detect that a new disk is being connected. But a simple button/menu option to refresh the volume list would do just fine. This should be pretty easy to fix, shouldn't it?
