I think the GUI of the tab called "Exclude" ("Settings" >> "Options" >> "Exclude") can & should be improved.
- Currently the user can't switch this "Exclude" function/feature off. To switch that feature off DF needs an extra option called (e.g.) "Enable Exclusion" on the "Exclude" tab. Then the user is able to select whether DF should defragment only a selection of e.g. folders or simply defragment EVERY (defragmented) file/folder (in spite of having a list of folders/files to be excluded).
- I also would like to see that the "Exclude" windows (on the right hand side in the picture) doesn't close when the user has added a folder or file (=clicked on "OK") to be excluded from defragging. Then the user can add another folder/file to the "Exclude" list without the need to re-open that "Exclude" window.
- Remove the "All drives" option in the "Exclude" window.
I have a proposal of how these 2 windows could look like in a next version of DF. The proposed changes are inside the 3 red boxes. See attachment.
