 Well, fair point. OTOH we had people complaining that they got no 
 information that actually files were ignored. So exactly the other way 
 round.

 A good compromise will probably be that ignored files are listed in the 
 info dialog with the [i] but do not reflect to the "overall status" icon 
 which is in the tray.

I had the same way of thinking about the information icon on the ignored files.
Could there be a 4th checkbox in the general tab to activate/deactivate the information icon ?
