As I can see current usage of the tool is not that friendly for the avarage user. So I changed few lines of code and now it works by double clicking.

Now the tool creates a backup of the Content.ggpk named Content.ggpk.old, then it creates a defragmented copy of it named as Content.ggpk. So there is no additional steps in the process, after running the game without a problem you could delete Content.ggpk.old to save some space.

Windows executable - Source

Usage:
1- Copy the tool to your Path of Exile directory.
2- Double click it and wait for it to finish
3- Run the game to check if everything is working fine.
4- If so delete Content.ggpk.old to save some space.

This was the first time I had my hands on a ruby code. Thankfully I only changed 2-3 lines of code but if there is a way that it could be done more efficiently. Experienced ruby developers should feel free to make appropriate changes.

This could cause some problems with people running this more than once and over-writing the old file. You did put a check in to prevent it running if there is already a Content.ggpk.old in the folder already?

Your method is quite simple.

1. Go to your PoE folder and put the defragmenter file there. Copy the path name to the folder (E:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile in my case).
2. Start-Run-Cmd. If you don't have Run on Win7, google 'how to enable Run on win 7'.
3. E: is my drive with PoE, replace the letter with your disk character

C:\Users\..\:>E:
E:\> cd E:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile

(right click and paste the path)

E:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile> ggpk_defragment.exe content.ggpk content2.ggpk

Confirm and wait.

After it's done, just rename the files as suggested by Nagpur.

There's an even easier way to do this. Rewritten version:

1. Go to your PoE folder and put the defragmenter file there. (E:\Program Files (x86)\Grinding Gear Games\Path of Exile in my case).
2. Start-Run-Cmd. If you don't have Run on Win7, google 'how to enable Run on win 7'.
3. Drag and drop the ggpk_defragment.exe file onto the command window.
4. Hit spacebar.
5. Drag and drop the Content.ggpk file onto the command window.
6. Hit spacebar.
7. Drag and drop the Content.ggpk file onto the command window.
8. Hit the left arrow key and add a 2, so it says Content.ggpk2

Hit enter and wait.

After it's done, just rename the files as suggested by Nagpur.
