Fair enough.

I think that's a pity. I'd imagine >2GB camera cards/drives would
comprise a significant proportion of the target media for ROFS. If so,
and bearing in mind the speed issues above, it would be very useful
IMHO to be able to select a card's entire contents and read/copy them
overnight, say (assuming you've doubled the speed of v0.02, 100 3-4MB
images would still take approx 8 hours). Of course I have no idea how
much extra effort would be involved in adding saving of multiple
files....

Fine - I'll give it a go.
