    I would find a significant time saving if these 2 actions could be separately combined into a single action requiring no user intervention so that it could be run through Windows Scheduled tasks

    Fully support this request, if not scheduled via scheduler then at least spawn them off into separate tasks (especially the cataloger), and maybe allow optimise to run on user exit based on request or some heuristics.

    I've never really understood why "Optimize" has to be a "wizard" at all, rather than just a matter of click-and-go. Does anyone here ever run it without both "optimize tables" and "remove orphans" selected? I never do. And what else can I do when presented with a "ACDSee will restart" message but click OK, if that's the only option?

    Of course, if Optimizing was made a single-step process, it would be easy to add an "Optimize when done" option to "Catalog files".

    I usually run it with remove orphans turned off, as I quite often have external drives not connected and I don't want ACDSee to remove info for them. Maybe it's smart enough not to, but I figure, why risk it.

    But since I virtually always run it that way, I'd be perfectly happy to have it be a option in the regular options dialog that I set once and forget, not something I have to think about each time I optimize.

    Anyhow, yeah - would be great to be able to schedule certain operations in ACDSee to run automatically with no intervention.
