Troubleshooting missed matches
Do you think you might consider creating a viewer for the ignore list sometime? It seems like it'd be a good way to debug comparison results, maybe with separate file path & filename columns in the viewer lists and columnar sort capability.
For example, I just came across a couple of files in my collection that're about 3 years old, but as far as I know they've never shown up in DGME. They're named identically except for a single extra letter in one of the names (a typo). Now I'm wondering if I might've ignored the match once by mistake or if DGME somehow missed the similarity. (It actually turns out that they're not dupes, but besides their near-identical names the length is also almost the same and the bit rate is identical. I've now named 'em appropriately to avoid confusion.)
Anyway, a way to view and manage the ignore list seems like it would sort of round out the feature set. Right now, once you've ignored a file, it's ignored forever unless you wade through the XML in the config itself.

Inappropriate?To be honest here, it's a matter of time required for the feature vs what it's worth. Then again, I'm not sure it would take that much time to implement, but still... a whole new window with deletion capabilities, it's not trivial.
Maybe that a more appropriate feature for the problem you wrote about would be to add an option to disable the ignore list? So if you wonder if the file doesn't show up in the results because of the ignore list, you disable it, then you scan, then you know.1 Comment

Aha, so you're only looking for trivial suggestions at this point? ;)
Okay. I just thought it was just a feature that still had some rough edges, but I can continue to mess with the config file manually. Thanks anyway. The program does give more useful feedback with recent changes, so that's much appreciated.
