be handy to have a decent progress window showing the files that are being processed, with the opportunity to skip and log the associated filename / directory, sometimes accidently there are mp4 or mkv video files think this slows down an action process. or a feature in options or within the action code to skip video files. also an option to pause the action processing, plus the option to hibernate or sleep etc on completion, particularly handy if left running overnight. could do with an option to skip errors and make a log file of the full details to do manually later, just some thoughts

Use filter to avoid files that you don't want to treat

you could e.g. leave out MP4 files with  
`NOT %_extension% HAS MP4`

or use only MP3 files with  
`%_extension% IS MP3`

Isn't this a setting for the OS and the energy options? This would apply to the whole computer, I would think.

There are options Ctrl-O \> Messages where you can set what MP3tag should report.  
OS Messages, esp. those about failing file access cannot be suppressed.  
If you get OS messages that files could not be renamed because a file with such a name already exists - see e.g. this discussion

and also follow the linked threads.
