# don’t optimize

## Synopsis

    don't optimize
    don't optimise

## Description

This is not the same as locked.

Used in a class definition to tell iDefrag that files of this class should not be optimized. They may, however, still be moved, for instance to make space for a file that is supposed to be optimized, or because they are in the Hot Zone when they shouldn’t be.

## Example

    // Don't bother optimizing temporary files

    class "Temporary Files" {
      match files where file is within "/private/tmp"
      don't optimize
      color "#4488ff"
    }
