This bug just started happening to me with version 3.5 (beta 20), I have upgraded to beta 21 but it still happens.
These are the events which preceded the problem:
1. I selected an mp3 file and right-clicked to choose: "Edit this file in mp3/tag Studio"
2. I performed two functions on all files in the directory:
A. auto tag (from filenames)
B. auto rename (from tags)
3. Navigated away from the current directory using the Explorer 'browse tree' inside mp3/tag Studio
4. Deleted the directory that I had just operated on.
5. Without quitting mp3/tag studio, I opened another directory in Windows Explorer and again selected an mp3 file and right clicked to choose: "Edit this file in mp3/tag Studio"
I did not expect mp3/tag Studio to initiate another instance of the application; I had assumed that it would simply update to allow me to edit a different file / directory, but instead I saw another instance launch - this is where the problems began.
>1st PROBLEM appeard:
6. An ALERT box appeared, saying "using defaults", and something I can't remember exactly, about not being able to read settings.
I dismissed the alert and quit the first instance of the program so that I could go ahead and edit the files I was working on.
7. As before, I performed the function "auto tag (from filenames)"
Since there was a jpg file in the directory with the mp3's, I got the usual error dialog about the jpg file not matching the expected name format I had chosen.
>2nd PROBLEM appeared:
The error dialog was too large for my monitor, extending vertically so far off screen below that the 'OK' button was not visible - there was no 'resize' box or any way to grab the corner to resize the dialog since the bottom corners were off-screen. The only way I could fix this problem was to attach a second monitor directly below my main monitor so that I could view corners of the dialog and drag to resize it onto my main monitor.
8. I next attempted to perform the function "auto rename (from tags)"
>3rd PROBLEM appeard:
"Grid index out of range" Alert appears, which I dismiss, but a busy 'hour glass' cursor and progress of "0%" just hangs there and I have to quit the program using the close box.
I tried rebooting the computer, but the problem persists: I can no longer execute the 'auto rename' function from within the mp3/tag Studio application. I tried deleting some of the .und files inside the application folder but this did not help either.
I have reproduced this error many times, operating on different mp3 files / directories.
Fortunately, I can still execute the 'auto rename' function by accessing it from the Windows Explorer context (right click) menu.
I would be happy to help test any fixes or contribuite to helping reproduce it. I have been using this software since 2005 and love it - this is the first time this bug has happened but I can't seem to shake it loose :-(.
