Anybody notice janky behaviour running iVolume 3.8.0 and Big Sur 11.0.1?

iVolume keeps locking up (pinwheeling) but continues to work and recovers. Also seems slower than normal, but that might be a perception thing with the lock ups.

EDIT: Definitely considerably slower when scanning a group that has already been processed (I use it to pick up any new or missing songs).
EDIT: Just noticed you can't read the check box labels either. Yep, iVolume is broken under Big Sur.

You are 100% correct. I think it still works but takes hours to finish. You just can’t change anything because you have no way of seeing what you are doing.
 
I sent a report off to the developer but tbh I don't expect him to reply back, he never does. I've contacted him four times in the past for other stuff and never hear a peep.

It might get fixed, it might not.

I have found a workaround. Run no more than 500 files at a time, then close iVolume and restart it. Choose another 500 etc etc.. It's clunky but it works!
 
I heard back from the developer (colour me surprised). He is aware and is working on an update.
