What is MediaMonkey doing during background processes? It has been spinning for more than two hours

It can be a variety of things including scanning, analyzing volume, sync and tagging. The statusbar in MediaMonkey doesn't indicate the process?

Double clicking on spinning circle should show status bar and also you hold mouse over it to see what the background process is.

I've sometimes wondered about that spinning circle as well. This is a very good thing to know, Thanks!!

Just a thought and off topic here somewhat, but I'm sure there are a lot of things MM2024 does like this that I for one am not aware of and I suspect I'm not the only one. Could you & Lowlander (or other developers) possibly start a 'Tip of the Week' post or somethng for things like this?
