If I pick or patternpick more than 630 files, spy.exe crashes. Is there a workaround for this? Is there a place to file a bug?

Would you consider open sourcing spy.exe?

I don't have this issue on Linux. I can pattern pick 10,000 files with no problem. I'll try running on Windows later today.

There is an open-source clone [github.com]. I'm not sure how many features are supported. It also looks like it might not be cross platform.

Edit: In fact, after I picked the elements, spy broke in a different way on Linux. So, I think I found the problem after all. Try this again in tomorrow's build.

I tested it again in build 317 and I still encounter the issue on windows.

I broke down and tried this on Windows. We discovered that the Windows run-time (even on Windows 10) has a limit on how long strings can be in the environment.

When spy selects files, it stores the list of selected files in an environment variable called PICKED. For large selections, we now limit the number of files in PICKED on windows.

This should be fixed in tomorrow's build of H14.
