Whenever I do Import Media, the Media Center window is constantly requesting attention (flashing in the task bar) This means it often tries to bring the window to the front, it won't let me open the start menu etc. It means that I can't leave it importing and do other stuff. Which is a bit of a bummer when the process is importing thousands of files and takes quite a while :-)

I think it's quite a processor intensive task but at least the task of importing a very large number of files should be a once only task.

I've had this issue with other programs besides MC too.  I just accept it and leave it running while I make a cuppa or have a beer!

Regardless of the intensity on the CPU and h/d, it still shouldn't keep requesting window focus. I still should be able use other programs (even if it's v. slow).
