Tag 2.0.26 & .ape Files

When i use tag with ape files i get the following message with every file:

Readfileinfo failed.

It IS working (writing tags, making playlists), but the message is kind of confusing, since it is working. Is there a way to disable this check or is it a bug of some sort ?

Second question:
Is there a way to read the existing tags to screen or file ? I know of the --tofile option but thats with creating new tags, right ?

Sort of request:
And maybe it would be nice to extend the --caps option to --capsartist so only the artist field would be capitalized. I use a naming scheme with the artist --caps and the track --Caps. As far as i know i can only use one at a time rigth now.

Not at the moment, but I will take that warning away, it was put there by accident. Once I'm less lazy I'll add real APE info reader too.

--tofile option works together with all functions, it will direct all screen output to given file.

I'll add some nice function for this.

Ah, OK.

OK, got it now:
tag *.ape --tofilen tag.txt

I took me some time to figure out that 'tag *.ape' outputs the current tags on the files.

Thanks, looking forward to it

Version 2.0.27 uploaded.
It now reads file info from Monkey's files instead of showing bogus error messages and there are new case conversion functions that only work on given tag items.
