I searched a while on GH- and thru 1.17b commits - didn't find open or closed feature requests like this. Custom files & folders can already be added, but AFAIK there's no way to save multiple "cleaning jobs," containing only certain items, to clean at certain times. Users could create specific lists or jobs, containing files & folders they add, then save with meaningful names.
After the user finishes computer activity and wants to quickly delete or shred only specific data, they choose the appropriate user created & named job from a list of custom jobs.
Once a user selects the named job(s) to preview / clean / shred, they don't have to think or worry about other things also being checked, that they DON'T want cleaned then. It also makes a much shorter preview results list to scan, to see if it found what you expected.
The current way, if you add custom files, folders & the user selected the "Custom" category, it's added in with all other normally selected entries. Other cleaning tools (not for Linux) have this capability - I found it very useful when I used Windows.
IDEALLY for custom jobs - either before running preview or after, you could easily select multiple folders or files & exempt them from cleaning (without changing that custom job's stored entries).
Even for the main, long list of apps to check for cleaning, I'd like the ability to create some custom lists of those, as well. Say, sometimes you don't want to clean browsers or email clients - but do want your other regularly checked items. Or ONLY want to clean browsers & email.
Instead of going down the list & making sure you unchecked all browsers & email clients, you just select a custom cleaning job named "No browsers_email," but contains your other "normal" entries. Another job could be "ONLY Browsers," etc.
No more repeating the process over & over - of checking, unchecking then re-checking items on the main list, depending on needs - at that moment.
