Gunnar,
Did you find a solution, I'm facing the same problem (would like to load
2868 files in one go). Is it a bug, or just something that should be
documented in the help. Also, the error message is misleading, as it say
it «cannot find» a certain file (the name given here is truncated in my
case), instead of «too much files selected».
I'm not really familiar with bug filling, could someone with more
experience tell if it's really a bug ? It's easy to reproduce, just
select a lot of files (I couldn't find the exact number unlike Gunnar)
with choose.files().
