+ Several annoyances from previous versions have been fixed or mostly fixed in FTM 3.1: Also, FTM 3.1 has yet to crash on me after almost two weeks of use. For example, finding 2680 missing media and attaching them using the copy method took about 20 minutes, but it would have taken Finder that long to copy them anyway.
