I am tagging a bunch of MP4 files, well over 1000 actually, just sticking something in the comments section and I keep getting the error "cannot be opened for writing" Not for every single file, it's been about 15 times out of 179 files so far. Whereas I recognize, this is likely a windows issue opposed to a program issue despite having full control of the files and being the owner, what I am wondering is there a way to disable the prompt that keeps coming up asking me "Do you want to continue?" and simply have the program automatically skip the files it cannot write to. I have looked in the options and can see nothing appropriate. I had hoped to move away from the PC and just leave MP3tag to it, but this prompt keeps stopping it in its tracks.
