Don't kick off full recrawl if only the crawl schedule is changed on processing settings

Currently (WD 2.2.1 on CP4D) if you make any changes on the Processing Settings tab it kicks off a full recrawl, even if the changes would not have any material effect on the processed documents. For example, if only the crawl schedule is changed on processing settings to go from daily to weekly then there is no benefit to immediately recrawling the entire collection. In fact, currently if you click the down button to show More Processing Settings and you don't make a change, this page still thinks you made a change that needs reprocessing.


The only button currently on the processing settings screen is "Apply changes and reprocess". Could we have three buttons instead?


"Apply changes and reprocess"

"Apply change but skip reprocessing"

"Cancel changes"

    My collections are hundreds of thousands of documents. Having to do a full recrawl just because I changed the time of daily crawl is a big problem.
