Cool, I was just thinking about suggesting an additional function.

Also just to clarify for your info, if the formats column is "just there" showing, then it does causes every file in the library to be accessed on startup and has the impact I described.
I've tested all the cases pretty extensively today, so I'm pretty sure the above is the case.
If the formats column is hidden on the other hand (ie unticked but still present in the "add your own columns" screen), then not every file is accessed, unless the "show in tag browser" option is checked. With that "show in tag browser" option checked it then also causes every file in the library to be accessed.
