If one has neglected to select valid files for processing, and has preview mode turned on, it might be better not to show the "Processing results preview" window for the files that one did not select
(after you click "Execute" and "OK" in the resulting warning popup)I rush to mention that this does not happen to me on a nearly daily basis, it's just a hypothetical situation

I'm not completely sure what you mean (or more correctly put, there's not much I do understand at all of what you are trying to say
).When you say "select valid files for processing", do you mean while using the custom file selection mode? And in that case, do you mean e.g. only selecting a text file in a directory of mp3s?
And which tool produces this bug for example?
And what exactly is the symptoms? Is non-processed files displayed in the preview window? I can't seem to reproduce anything like that.
Please clarify, and I will look into it. Thanks!

Hmm, ok maybe I know what you mean after all when I come to think about it.
Is it that the preview window is displayed even if there are no files to process?Well, I kinda think I'd like to keep it this way for consistency. And if nothing else, to encourage you not to process invalid files, since it's quite the waste of time anyway.

Hi Magnus,
Yes, it's the fact that the preview appears at all.
This occurs in Auto-rename, mass-set, auto tag from names, mass clean, direct rename, etc. My point is this:
The program has already notified me that there are no valid files selected, via the warning popup - so the preview window is just annoying and another click in the process. I very rarely select invalid files; most often I have simply neglected to select any files.
I know I screwed up, MP3TS doesn't have to rub it in

Ok, sure, if I ever get to the bottom of the Mp3/TS todo-list, I'll be sure to tell him to be nicer to you, ok?
