However, I think that's still not feasible for the reasons I mentioned in my previous mail. There is no need to get that discouraged! You have pointed out a complication, but a complication does not mean it is unfeasible. It just means a little more work is needed. You can fix the file name handlers--in fact, they may not even need any change. Please take a look and see if they need any change.
