Description
Orbot has two transparent proxy modes: "Tor Everything" where all apps are transparently proxyed or "Select Apps" where apps/services are not proxyed unless enabled by the user. It could be convenient to make it easier to enable proxying by default for all apps, but also allow some specific apps to be manually excluded. For example, "Tor Everything" except data-intensive streaming sites which is currently a bit tedious to setup and has to be revisited after each app install.

It would IMHO also help to have "select all"- & "deselect all"-buttons in the "select apps"-list. My use case is torifying everything, except for a few apps that need direct connections to other computers in my WLAN. BTSync & WiFiKeyboard for example.

Not to nag, but I notice the target version is 14. Has this issue been given any thought since its post date?
