In File Export's completion message e.g.

. Exported information about 11650 files was written to file 'c:\temp.txt'.

the file quantity is wrong when files have been exlcluded from output by e.g. $loop(,1).

It seems the number given is the number of files selected and inspected, not the number output.

Even if you're using $loop(%xyz%,1) the exported information is based on the initial number of files.

Indeed, but nevertheless the completion statement is false.

How about just correcting the wording, from

. Exported information about 11650 files was written to file 'c:\temp.txt'.

to

. Export processed 11650 file(s) and wrote to file 'c:\temp.txt'

[Changed](http://developer.mp3tag.de) the wording accordingly.

Kind regards,

Confirmed in V2.39o. Thanks.

PS Message tag should now be [F].
