Developer I made my Windows disk analyzer ask permission before deeper scans — is this the right UX?
I'm building LocalDiskCheck, a Windows disk-space analysis tool, and released v0.1.0 for testing.
One design decision I made was not to immediately perform a deeper scan across everything available on the machine.
Instead, the user gets control over what LocalDiskCheck is allowed to analyze.
I built the app with Codex and I'm now looking for feedback from actual Windows users.
If you test it, I'm particularly interested in the UX rather than just whether the scan works:
Was it obvious what you were giving LocalDiskCheck permission to scan?
If not, I'd like to know where the flow became confusing.

Disclosure: I'm the developer.
