I would not argue against that it tries it -- but when it does not
succeed, I do not see a reason why this should result in an error. Why
can't it just silently take the next file?

This would be a workaround; however I would prefer if the tool would
just not crash in this case. Except there is a good reason why it
*should* crash -- is there a use case for that?
