What behaviour would you expect from an application in such an situation? Many apps just freeze or crash :)

Personally I would try to evaluate if the app can handle it and if not show a pop-up. Either abort with that pop-up so that the user can select less files. Or fallback to load only what you can load and let the user know what was loaded and what not.

Although the fallback is probably not a good idea since the user had an idea what she wanted to look through and then wouldn't be sure what is included and what not. It is probably better to let the user know and abort so she knows that it will require two steps to look through all files.
