Thanks for your detailed feedback. 

The problem lies with the filenames containing "&" characters. There are not 
authorised as is in XML/KML documents.

I will make changes in the code to integrate them (replacing & with &) in the 
next version. In the meantime if you can avoid the "&" characters or do the 
change manually in your text editor.  

Thanks
