Exclude seeds directly in the Queued URL-window [Feature]

Open Klindten opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Context

Sometimes it´s great to use the "Edit Exclusions" function - especially if you want to manange many URL´s at once - but a swift exclude-option could be a great add-on.

What change would you like to see?

As a user i want to be able to swiftly exclude seeds directly in the "Queued URL"-window so I can get rid of odd/unwanted and sometimes different seeds, before they are crawled. Maybe an "X" (cancel seed function) beside the seed could work...

It can take some time to navigate back and forth to the "Edit Exclusion"-window and then the seed may already be crawled. Will be a small intuive add-on to the already great functionality.

One of the reasons we didn't do this initially is that the list moves, though we can get around that by pausing it on hover.

I assume you would expect this to just exclude the single URL that you clicked? This would require an "exact match" setting to be added, or it could be added as a regex pattern but that's less intuitive for anyone who isn't a regex expert :)

The original idea was to just exclude the single URL that you clicked - so it was very intuitive/quick.

It could also be "Edit">select item(s)/seeds>delete. A bit like choosing multiple mails to delete: image
