Idea #8678: Ability to create choose a list of screensavers to choose randomly from.

Description

I love the random screensaver selector, but I'd like to be able to disable some of them. A few consume too many resources so that the fans on my laptop keep spinning noisily, others I simply don't like, and the rest are fine.

UPD: I goofed up the title. Somebody, please delete the first "choose"!

I have not tried this but it looks like if you plan on never using those scrensavers you can just remove them... that would theoretically achieve the result you desire AND clear up some disk space! win-win!

I think an simple GUI would be a appropriate to just disable their use in Random.
