Suggestion: Whitelist folder #40

Closed AldebaraanMKII closed 2 months ago

AldebaraanMKII commented 5 months ago

Some programs (e.g. Discord, Github desktop) create a new folder every time a new update is auto installed (this can happen daily), which renders the current whitelist for that program useless. So my suggestion is to add the ability to whitelist a whole folder so any program who runs from that folder and subfolders get the rules applied to them.

I was just dealing with this problem myself with Discord (though I'm here for another reason). This seems like a great solution to me! Using Discord as an example users could whitelist the Discord parent folder and any future exes in app-x.x.xxxx would just work.

Now if only we could stop it getting removed from the visible taskbar tray... ;)
