The user simply selects a directory and a list is filled with all the supported media files located within that directory. The user can then decide whether files should be renamed or not and then presses the big "Start" button. All files are then hashed, identified and added to MyList one by one and the progress bar and the corresponding file entries in the list are updated accordingly.
