I think these are fine.

But what I'd like is "an automatically delete snapshots after X days" option. I'd set X at 3 months, but I suspect others would want other values.

Right now I set snapshots at daily - which gives me a reasonable chance to recovery any accidentally changed file. The default thinning of snapshots over time is also reasonable, but I don't want snapshots retained forever (as they are now). The fragmentation and storage that creates isn't worth it.

Old automatic snapshots are deleted when volume usage exceeds 95% to get volume usage back under 95%.

Agreed. Or the ability to select multiple snapshots to delete at once via a checkbox of sorts.

I agree that better controls are needed.

Also a single button "delete all snapshots" for the volume would be handy.
