Running macOS 12.4, Intel, Java 1.0 (11.0.10) (and I just ran Java 8 Update 351 to be sure). jExifToolGUI is 2.0.1

The majority of the time that I select video files to export metadata from, I get an error "no images selected; nothing to work on". As you can see in the screenshot, the files are clearly selected. The only thing that seems to make this work is to select them and open Compare, and then the software realizes they are actually selected.

Also I have no idea why sometimes it's in icon view and sometimes it's in list view. It doesn't seem to matter how many or few are imported!
