Enforced skiplist option

Hello there,

skiplist/allow lists and general skiplists are very useful.

But sometimes some skipped items included in subdirs of allow list are transferred.

I think it would be a good idea to add one more option to skiplists : "always" box,
to be sure an item is ALWAYS skipped.

Thank you.

That sounds more like a bug rather than a new feature to do.

Only dev knows but i think it's the way he coded it.

Try to use them both and you will notice that allow list just override anything skipped
which is obvious by definition, but some skipped items, need generally to be skipped in
any case.

Just a quick example :

general skip : *incomplete* (folder)

site skip : CD3 (folder)
site skip : CD4 (folder)
etc...

allow : *upload* (full path + folder)

If on source you had that directory:

TITLE/CD1/files.rar
-------/CD2/files.rar
-------/CD3/files.rar
-------/CD4/files.rar
-------/(incomplete)-CD4

Instead of getting this with current options :

UPLOAD/TITLE/CD1/files.rar
------------------/CD2/files.rar
------------------/CD3/files.rar
------------------/CD4/files.rar

You will get this :

UPLOAD/TITLE/CD1/files.rar
------------------/CD2/files.rar
------------------/CD3/files.rar
------------------/CD4/files.rar
------------------/(incomplete)-CD4

So an enforced tickbox would desserve its place in the skiplist options,
and i know that for years but developpement was dead.. Let's hope
they are still working on it because the feedback is minimal once again.

It will be also nice to have a skiplist for each bookmark added, that will make things easier.
