As the button says, select some files or folders before opening the settings menu.

How should I choose?

After all, I wrote that the functions are inactive.
The photo clearly shows that "Add selected names"
it is written in faint font.

Besides, even $RECYCLE.BIN
is visible in the TC window.

Only selected files can be saved in ignore.text
But first you have to choose them.

Just to make it clear, you need to select some files and/or folders in the main Total Commander window BEFORE opening the configuration dialog.

Christian, only by reading the help one can guess how to proceed in this screen.

This is the case in many software where feature are hidden until you select object/files... Here the confusing part is that it is in configuration which is generally static. Anyway this is in the help but a tool-tip could just inform that you need to select file before clicking !

Maybe adding a little text ("Add from active file list:") above the two buttons could help - like this: https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/ignoredialog.png

Good idea
I would like to change the text to
Add from previously selected files
