More a question than a problem, but have you considered whether it's
safe for DoUpdateFileTags to operate from another thread, given that
it operates on a project and the tag database?

Also, it might be a good idea to close the thread when the queue is
empty. UpdateFileTags could re-launch the thread if the queue is
empty, then the thread could run until it empties the queue, and exit.

I'll take a better look at it tomorrow.
