Hi,

I've called main.mp_batch(foldername=fld,glob_str='*.lst'). It correctly identified 27 matching list files, but then exited after failing to parse the first list file. See below.

Calling main.run_batch_lst(foldername=fld,glob_str='*.lst') yielded the expected behaviour of moving onwards to the next list files after failing to parse first.

Thanks,
Lior
