Root file browsing for exclusions

[ETJAKEOC]

Hello, love the application, but I have one bone to pick with it;

I cannot add an exception path for my Arch Linux on ARM directory, which is located in /data/ALARM, so scanning my device takes absurdly long, as I'm now scanning through my Arch install, and I cannot seem to add it to the exclusion list because there is no way to browse the /data partition from what I'm seeing in the exceptions page under settings, even though I have given the application KernelSU Root access? Not sure how difficult such an implementation would be, but I figured something like this would be a nice feature for those of us with root access to be able to restrict what gets cleaned even further.

Hm, maybe I could refactor the file picker to be used with the exclusion system 🤔

For your case wouldn't a segment exclusion for data/ALARM work?

👀 I didn't even know that was a thing 😅 Yeah, that looks like it'll do the trick, well, guess my idea isn't needed now 😂

Let me know if it works. Closing this then.

The whole idea behind not having the user select exclusions via random path but only allow it via results is to make sure things actually get excluded in the way the user wants to. because SD Maid may not find the files by the same path that the user selects because some files are reachable by multiple paths with symlinks and hardlinks etc.
