Description
Recently after adding the metadata and whatnot and after discovering the add metadata to first page option I decided to set calibre up to do a bulk convert/reconvert of my entire library.
I set it up, got it running and went to bed. When I woke up I realized the whole process was interrupted only 1100 files in and was stopped due to it waiting for me to acknowledge that it was unable to convert a title.
Just a thought but wouldn't it be more convienant to just have it report the titles it had an issue with at the end of the converting process rather than holding up the conversion of the rest of the titles because it's waiting for me to click an "OK" button?
Thanks again for making such a great product and for keeping it donation supported. I will continue to contribute as I can.

If only one is encountered it continues to process 1 (seems to do two at a time) however if it encounters a 2nd one it does stop processing and windows reports the program as not responding, however when I clicked ok on both boxes it resumed conversion, so it apparently does have some effect.

Well in that case this is a bug/limitation in the graphics toolkit that calibre uses on windows, as it works for me with every conversion giving an error on 10 conversions in linux.
Perhaps on windows applications are limited in the number of modeless dialogs they can create.
No easy fix.
conversion error messages are not modal, ie.e they do not block the rest of the conversions from running.
