Better error message and error handling

(Guess if 'bugs' such as Spaces before B, KB, MB, GB, TB can be fixed, then this is worth reporting as well. Also, I probably should have posted this here in the first place.)

First, please change the ugly titlebar error message displayed in such cases (see screenshot below). Something like "Failed to update some file tags"  would be perfectly acceptable IMO.



Second issue is, if Foobar fails to update tags on pressing OK or Apply in the Properties dialog, besides the titlebar error message an Information window also pops up saying "Could not update tags..." (again see screenshot above). That's all very nice and as it should be. But if I press Cancel in the Properties dialog above, I get this:



What's the point of this redundant Save changes dialog? Obviously you can't press Yes, since you'll get the exact same Information window as before. Also, I don't see this confirmation dialog when I successfully change the metadata of files, so why is this dialog displayed only when tag updating failed and you cannot possibly save changes?
