Hi

I changed various settings for about 120 mp3 on a network share, and while updating the files I clicked on various files in the file list. What happened is that 90% of my files got the attributes of the files I had been clicking on. In other words - it´s a complete mess now.

It would be great if the application could handle several threads, but if not - lock the GUI while updating.

I think this may have happened to me also. I tried to cancel an operation that was partway finished, and ended up corrupting hundreds of tags. Even though it's been around a long time, this program doesn't feel stable enough to risk using.
