Re: Send ALL selected files to external player

I've added this to the development list.

If it helps, you can disable the Internal player in the settings and send files to the media player by double clicking (quicker than the context menu).

Re: 5.21.2 quiting

There isn't a verbose mode.

If it's crashing like this it is often due to the image libraries for scanning Raw format images.

-If you are scanning mixed formats, try unchecking 'Include camera RAW files' in the search filters and see if it still crashes.
-Try disabling 'Use image metrics caching'

Re: How to simply de-select a few sub folders?

There isn't a way to do this in 'search' panel, but in the tree you can multi-select many subfolders by clicking on the first, then shift clicking on the last. You can then drag multiple folders across. You'd need to set those the excluded in the search panel (again, you can shift-click to multisele...
