@siracusa For UX/FAQ/marketing reasons, should v1.4 scan more broadly and distinguish between reclaimable-under-current-settings and reclaimable-with-more-aggressive-settings?

@siracusa Set it to "Allow Any File", and potential savings jumped from 2GB to 8GB for my home directory. Very impressive!

@siracusa With settings optimized for that, I'm finding 104 GB. Substantial, but I'm hesitant to purchase with no idea what kind of things it found. I’d like to see a summary that's more than a single number.

@maikm Making a purchase to unlock the app will show you the list of files and let you choose which ones you do and don't want to reclaim.

@siracusa Yes, but I'm not sure I want to “purchase to reclaim" just to see what kind of things it actually found, and then maybe not reclaim it after all.
