840 - Multi rename - freezing issue

When renaming 1000+ files, Multi rename window is freezing, without option to cancel loading, or closing Multi rename window, even main FC window is not responding.

There are just to options, wait (even few minutes), or end FC in task manager.

For example, select 1000+ jpg files with EXIF data, to File name field add [exif_taken], or/and add also [mp3title], then add just one letter, e.g. "a" and FC is tryting to read all files again.

Possible solutions:
- add a similar option as in main FC windows, with button "Cancel" to cancel the operation, loading, or close Multi rename dialog, or option to disable "Auto preview" option
- do not try read EXIF in non-JPG files, and ID3 tag in non-MP3 files, if possible

Workaround: disable "Auto preview" option.

FC 840 64-bit donor, Windows 10 20H2 64-bit.

Workaround: disable "Auto preview" option.
Currently the "Auto preview" is a checkbox - so you can simply deactivate auto preview if you have many files.

In the release 842 will be cancel possibility added.
