Something I've discovered:

Windows has a limit of 2047 characters in a single command-line prompt. This mostly comes into effect when sending a lot of books to an "open with" action. (This is why I usually run Power Search first, then send the files to Ransack.)

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calibre_plugins.action_chains.action", line 237, in run_chain
  File "calibre_plugins.action_chains.chain_tools", line 120, in run_loop
  File "calibre_plugins.action_chains.chain_tools", line 100, in run_loop
  File "calibre_plugins.action_chains.actions.open_with", line 319, in run
  File "calibre_plugins.action_chains.actions.open_with", line 361, in launch_app
  File "subprocess.py", line 854, in __init__
  File "subprocess.py", line 1307, in _execute_child
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long

I doubt there's much to be done about this, aside from providing a more informative dialog.
