1 Execute "%PROGRAMFILES%\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe" /fp:nosuchfolder

Expected: error, and nothing loaded  
Observed: last current directory is loaded

Loading the wrong files due to e.g. a user typing error could be costly!

This is the intended behaviour. It's a feature 🙂

A highly undesirable one, I suggest. It could lead to wrong files being edited/deleted. I think Mp3tag definitely should flag an error and not load the wrong files.

OK, after thinking about that for a while I decided to display a warning message in such cases.

Changed the status of this report accordingly.

This warning message should now be displayed in the current [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de).

In V2.44 I do get that new warning dialog - thanks - but:

a) it is German in English install: [http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/5296/pichl.png](http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/5296/pichl.png)  
b) if Mp3tag is already running, it appears behind the main app window, possibily invisible.  
c) if Mp3tag is not already running, when dismissed it defaces the splash screen - leaves a hole.
