As a Bitdefender power user I want to be able to quickly add multiple firewall rules so that the application doesn’t slow me down and subject me to a poorly designed user experience that apparently no experienced UX designer has ever looked at. What should take at most 30 seconds, on average takes 5, 10 or more minutes. It’’s incredibly poorly designed, more like a quickly thrown together afterthought just to get the app out the door than a well-thought out, user-friendly feature that’s easy and intuitive to use by an average customer.
Adding rules for multiple programs at once is painfully slowww. You have to click on the folder browser icon, navigate to the correct folder by traversing the entire file tree, then, once in the correct folder, select one file at a time (so bad) and then repeat that for every single file (the entire, cumbersome, slow process). The program won't even persist the folder you last visited. Each time you start back at the root. Furthermore, once in a folder (which takes numerous mouse clicks and a bunch of scrolling), you cannot control-click or otherwise select multiple files at once. This is such a badly done and non-standard implementation of how every other decent Windows app typically does this that you have to wonder which barely capable developer was given the task and whose code was obviously never reviewed.
A good solution could be a context menu option, but even when using the built-in navigator, the app must, at the very least, persist the last used folder and allow the selection of multiple files at one time using the well-established, ubiquitously used method of control-clicking or using checkboxes. This part of an otherwise excellent security suite is HUGELY in need of updating (a complete redesign, actually).
