e.g.

C:\>start "" "%PROGRAMFILES%\\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe" /fp:"C:\nosuchdir"

loads all the tracks on Q:! This can be dangerous.

That "causes Mp3tag to hang at "Reading directory":" This one does not - it causes wrong tracks to be loaded.

It's the same case. In the case where you thought Mp3tag was hanging, the process to examine all files on the partition simply took a little bit longer.

I am surprised because in the hang case I detected no disc activity. But OK, thanks.

Should be fixed with the current [Development Build](http://developer.mp3tag.de).

Well on V2.43b **"%PROGRAMFILES%\\Mp3tag\Mp3tag.exe" /fp:"C:\nosuchdir"** was silent for a minute or so then loaded all the files from C:! So, though the drive is different, I think this is not a fix to the OP issue.

Yes, I can confirm this and changed the status of this bug report accordingly.
