I'm a newbie with the utility, running v2.40. It looks like a great product!  
I'm seeing one issue which I've not been able to resolve. I'm not sure if it is a product bug, or a user issue.  
My platform is Win32 XP SP2. All my target files are .mp3 with tag format ID3V2.3 (ID3V1 ID3V2.3) as displayed by MP3tag.

When I choose the "Customize Column" option, the columns FILENAME and GENRE fields are not displayed columns. The field checkboxes are available, and checked, but if I select everything, these three columns will not display. If I choose ONLY these two columns, then my display area is blank. I have also tried a mix and match of other columns, but no matter what, I cannot seem to get these two columns to display, while all others WILL display. And yes, I have verified that the checkboxes next to those fields are checked.

Note: the FILENAME and GENRE info is visible if I right-click on a file and see file properties, and GENRE is there to be displayed/edited in the Tag Panel. But, neither filename nor genre will display in the "main" viewing area. All other columns will display.

Is it me, or a possible bug? Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions welcome.
