Good point. What I liked about Martyn's idea was that it was specific about which label was wrong, which the old generic error wasn't, and gave you a chance to fix it on the fly. Can we have these "name contained an illegal character" dialogs come up as needed before export, as the (first) ID3 grid does? There is a problem though with MP3 multiple export which means that can't be done unattended even with legal characters, because the actual grids for each MP3 (as opposed to the redundant first one) only come up after the previous MP3 has been exported. That isn't really satisfactory. So really we want all dialogs to come up before the export starts. Gale |
