I know TinyWall was created with the intention of a more hands-on approach with minimal nuisance to managing web access. Still, it'd be great to have the option to turn on toast notifications or a confirmation box whenever an exception is added automatically in the background. This is to keep a closer eye on any programs that may have snuck by when running in Autolearn mode without needing to review the list manually each time.
Also, it'd be nice if the file path could be displayed in the toast so that we can familiarize ourselves with the process that needs access, as it's sometimes a subprocess/daemon or local server from a different path connecting to the internet running alongside the main app. Some examples are VS Code add-ons (Codeium), which have a language server, and Electron-based apps (Discord/Git Kraken) that change the executable's directory entirely after every update. It quickly becomes a hassle to manually whitelist the file paths for each app since their updates are so frequent. Autolearn makes this easy for me, but showing notifications or confirmations for each change during the short period that runs would be helpful and safer.
Alternatively, I would be happy with a sortable column for when the process was added to the whitelist as in #33.
By the way, thanks for your dedication to this software. It's been my go-to choice for years.

It does give me an idea that there could be a "restricted autolearn" mode to automatically add rules according to a regex or glob pattern, which basically gives what people want in #4, and should be somewhat safer than (or as safe as) autolearn mode. The dates and ports columns should definitely be added though, in my opinion.
