Aha, indeed, thanks :)
I was puzzled about the individual jobs still being in the list.

Some suggestions then :)

If "Merge Jobs" is checked, the jobs' list seems quite irrelevant, 
because then all files from all jobs are shown, no matter which 
individual job is selected from the list.
So I think it would make more sense to then group the jobs in the list 
as jobs' names and then show only that job, which is selected. And then 
add one selection for showing all jobs.

As for UI, I think that in the name of more consistent UI, separating 
refresh actions from selections would be a good idea, ie. a user has to 
first make his selection, maybe correct it etc. and then hit "Refresh" 
or smth. In most places (and other apps, which is important point too) 
it's that way, but in there, it's not.

And sorting everywhere could also be a nice "feature" (eg. currently the 
list of files seems quite randomly ordered) :)

Why are encrypted files' size shown as 0B?


Does any of the points above make sense? :)
