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 Ťcannot findť a certain file (the name given here is truncated in my 
case), instead of Ťtoo much files selectedť.

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().
