current thoughts on iDefrag/ the "Doyle Papers"?
My mostly non-problematic library now refuses to finish updating not one but two vaults. (hangs at the same place with both vaults) I wiped one of the drives and just drag copied the library to it in the finder. This made me think of Kevin Doyle's thoughts on defraging from way back in 2010. One of his thoughts was that drag copying would defrag the library. Another was that iDefrag would do the job for those who didn't have the time/ resources for drag copying. I had good luck with this but let it slip away. Now I'm thinking that defragmentaion might be worthwhile while trying to clean up a library before upgrade.
I know that the issue of defragging a Mac is controversial- even beyond photo circles.
Your thoughts?
