argument list too long errors
Exactly correct. I've worked long and hard to find a way around this
limitation, but I haven't been successful yet. If we ever find a way to get
around it, we'll fix it, but otherwise, it's an OS limitation that we're
stuck with. Sorry, but I don't know of any workarounds, besides trying to
shorten the path to the files, or putting them all in one directory and then
dragging the directory onto the script and using that to find the files.
