Bug Description
There is a bug in the default max file size of 16 Petabytes in "Shredder" being interpreted as a negative number and causing an error exit when "rmlint" is run by the GUI when the selected folder is scanned. In addition, simply changing the Units from e.g. Petabyte to Gigabyte does not enable the "Apply" button, which is only enabled by changing the default value of 16 to e.g. 1.
Another error occurs because the /tmp/app.log file is not removed on exit from the "Shredder" GUI. If a previous user created this log file it can't be overwritten or removed if the s't'icky-bit is set on the /tmp directory. Including the PID in the app.log filename would avoid the problem and allow concurrent instances of "Shredder" to write to "$$app.log".
The following logs captured from a CLI invocation of "Shredder" illustrate how the negative max size problem can be fixed by changing the default values, but the /tmp/app.log problem remains:
