Clear. Thanks.

Wonderful!

Just a thought: Maybe I don't see the human interface thing which is important
here. But I tend to think that using the red / black marking which is used now,
indicates clearly that some files are affected an others are not. I like that.
Maybe it is an idea to even improve that. That keeps it simple and yet
powerful.
