[FEATURE]: Allow adding volumes to the exclude list.

[dshess]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I write SD cards, I'm given a list of a 16GB or 32GB SD card, plus a 2TB external disk and a 2TB Time Machine backup, etc. I am paranoid that one day I will accidentally image to one of these.

Describe the solution you would like to see implemented

Perhaps a panel where I could add targets to not consider.
Or right-click a target and say "Add to exclude list".
Or, manually drop a file in the target's root dir to exclude it.
Or, a hidden setting via defaults (on OSX).
Or, a setting for "Don't consider disks larger than ".
Or, a checkbox to not show disks with APFS or HFS+ filesystems
[I realize that is not really a portable concept given how /boot and / are fomatted.]

Describe alternatives you've considered

Right now I'm considering just writing a shell script to write the images from a Linux box. Then I could wire in these checks.

Thanks for the submission, @dshess

This is a tricky one - while not technically difficult to implement, the ergonomics will need some thinking about. Critically, if a drive is marked as 'excluded', there will need to be a mechanism to trivially identify this in case of error.

I'll have a think and come back to this issue, but for now:

Feature request provisionally accepted.
