Please consider creating checkboxes for filenames in the "processing results preview" window. For example, when you're doing a batch from the "rename from tags" tab, you might see a number of files that need preprocessing. They may be missing an entry from one of the tag fields you're using for the rename process, or you may want to edit them manually before renaming -- for any of a variety of reasons you need to process them in a different section of Tag Studio first.
Right now, the only way to isolate files for further tag processing is by unchecking a few at a time after canceling out of the preview. Maybe a CD I ripped consists of "various artists", and GraceNote or FreeDB has the artist as "Various" with the song title "Artist - Title". (I can't imagine how that would be useful, but it seems to be a frequent format for compilation albums.) I have to back out of the rename preview, go to "Browse/edit tags/flags" and fix all the ones I remember from whatever their current odd name might be, and then go back to preview to see what other ones need attention.
It struck me that it'd be a huge help to just be able to uncheck files that need their tags tweaked before they get renamed. I've even tried doing screenshots to help me remember what obscure filename I have to "Browse/edit tags/flags" on, but it's still kind of a clumsy process.

Here's a thought -- one solution might be to have the functionality of "browse/edit tags/flags" in its own window, so you could do tweaks from anywhere else in the program. That pane is the one that most supplements the rest of the functions.
