Perhaps for clarity it needs to say it is automatic as this will change how that checkbox has worked previously. Also, previously you set the threshold when selecting that same first checkbox.

Perhaps for clarity it needs to say it is automatic as this will change how that checkbox has worked previously. Also, previously you set the threshold when selecting that same first checkbox. So if you do not select it because you want to be asked then the threshold setting needs to be separate. I suppose you would have to only allow only one of the checkboxes to be able to be selected at any one time.

re: I'd like to propose to use this wording: 'Ask every time before compacting.' Agree it sounds reasonable, but it changes everything, because it is now assuming you will compact when asked. > > ``` > > ☑ Compact all folders when ... > > ▢ Ask everytime before compacting > > ``` > However,, selecting the first checkbox will no longer offer the prompt, it will be automatic. Perhaps for clarity it needs to say it is automatic as this will change how that checkbox has worked previously. Also, previously you set the threshold when selecting that same first checkbox. So if you do not select it because you want to be asked then the threshold setting needs to be separate. I suppose you would have to allow only one of the checkboxes to be able to be selected at any one time or neither.
