Feature request
Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2005 10:13 am
Hi,
A feature I've long wanted which I think would be universally appreciated is a way to preview files which will be backed up sorted by size. Whenever I do a backup I invariably have a few large files (videos or whatever) which I wouldn't have chosen to backup, but often miss if I go through directory-by-directory on the preview. If I could see a list of files to be backed up sorted by size I could very easily assess whether I want to exclude the biggest.
An additional enhancement to this would be to see directories to be backed up sorted by size as well. This would help to catch newly installed software which I might not want to back up (i.e. clipart collections I can always restore from original media) and such.
Thanks!
Bill
