I'm not going to include some panicky warning that goes overboard and defeats the purpose (i.e. getting people to submit dumps). Remember, the most personal data that could get sent are file/folder names. And sending a saved scan is entirely up to the user if some issues are encountered. And that will not be semi-automated or automated ever. Either way it will be an opt-in thing, not opt-out - once during installation (probably including during upgrades). PS: an IP address may be considered personal data in some jurisdictions, but unless you are an ISP and/or Google you have no way of mapping it to a person - being an individual myself.

I have downloaded a search program called "everything" on http://www.voidtools.com/ This seems to be using something similar because when you search something on your hard drive it is lightning fast because you immediately get all filenames corresponding the search including the size of it. Maybe something to look at it? Cheers, Jeroen Hi everyone, I didn’t know where else to post this but concerning the MFT.

No problems to report if you ask permission before. One questions about new version - can it correctly count size for _hardlinks_? (as far as i know, softlinks correcty counted in old version, but hardlinks - not, it counts all of them separately) Agree with first comment. No problems to report if you ask permission before.

Just a thought, perhaps if you limit the ability to submit a report to administrators only. I assume most workers in a company like that would only have standard accounts, so only people who know what they are doing will have access to it. Apologies if my idea is complete nonsense.

Data privacy reasons make it questionable for production environments. It would at least be useful for sending reports from test systems.
