LOST FEATURE in 5.x :: Persisting the Protect Folder Selections

Post by abobymous »

Hello DC team - in version 5.x PRO of the application, a feature that was in the 4.x PRO versions was lost. When viewing the Duplicate Files tab after a scan, one can right-click and choose to "Protect this folder / tree." In 4.x this would be persisted in the Folders to Search tab between runs of the application. A very useful feature! However in version 5.x PRO the protected folder (from the Duplicate Files tab) is not added/persisted on the Folders to Search tab.

Can this feature be restored in the next version of 5.x? If other users asked for this behavior change from v4 -> v5, can there be a setting in the Options panel for the user to choose the Protect Behavior they prefer?

Thank you for your consideration!

There's a new persistent ignore list feature in the next update(5.18) which should perform a similar task (you can add to it from the duplicate list).
