Hello Kristian, Glad you were able to complete your analysis. One potential thing to watch out for when you use wildcards (i.e. the asterisk) is that you may inadvertently include a file that you did not mean to, for example: an old analysis file with the name interact-old.pep.xml ; this would naturally affect your results.
As of now, there is no simple way to have Petunia get past the shell limit on number of files/characters. Perhaps we could add an "Analyze all pep.xml files in this directory" button or some such. Although in general I would suggest using a command-line or even a script if you will be running analyses on very large numbers of files.
