Hi Ernie, thanks for your response and for the great app!! I ended up finding that the problem was that I was using a Windows reserved name in one of my filenames – the image was for the French word 'con', so I named the file 'con.jpg', but CON is a Windows reserved name.
Here is what Microsoft has to say about it, in case anyone else runs into this problem:
Do not use the following reserved names for the name of a file:
CON, PRN, AUX, NUL, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, COM5, COM6, COM7, COM8, COM9, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, LPT4, LPT5, LPT6, LPT7, LPT8, and LPT9. Also avoid these names followed immediately by an extension; for example, NUL.txt is not recommended. For more information, see Namespaces.
Thanks,
-Bret
