@Florian In v3.20, when exporting a custom list of values for a tag panel field, the _Save text file_ pop-up window does not ask for confirmation when overwriting a file. I just managed to accidentally double-click a file and its contents was overwritten with my list of genres. Luckily I have a backup of this particular file. I hope you'll introduce a confirmation pop-up. Appreciate your work, thanks.

I've added the confirmation message with [Mp3tag v3.20a](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455). Thanks for pointing and glad you had a backup!
