This program is super duper cool but...

It has some flaws which i hope to help you guys address, here they are:
(I have 4.1.0, perhaps these have changed in newer versions)
1) when we choose the option audio check+ similar tags, it doesn't work at at all. I know I have tracks that match at audio and have similar tags, but if tags match are added in addition to audio, the results are always 0.
2) This is crucial, infernal irritating annoying POP-UP descriptions are a NO NO, and an indication of a poor software design. You guys should definitely at least give the user an option to disable the infernal annoying pop-ups, they are non-stop drive me insane.
3) This is such a NO BRAINER, I wonder why this program doesn't have it. If we select match on tags, we should also be able to select a match on length, but not an exact match (say Delta<=X secs), which is the only option this program gives us. I am really intrigued why this option is present when audio match is selected, but not when tags are selected. It's very useful to see duplicated with identical artist+title and whose delta length is less than or 3 seconds.
4) Another NO BRAINER, dupes selection shouldn't be one selection criterion or another, you guys should have cascade criteria. I want to keep the file with the highest bit-rate first, after that (if first rule is a tie) I want to pick the oldest file, etc. It's not one or the other.
I have too many mp3 files and i have been working on removing dupes in many different software, even doing my own coding, so I think I can offer a tip or two. That said, your program is great.
