HFS+ and Finder can use filenames which use in Utf-16 up to 255 shorts.

But in the program below there seems to exist some other limit (at least on 10.4.11 Tiger).
Where is this documented?
Or what am I doing wong?

... Filewrapper has preferred filename with 128 shorts in Utf16; Utf8 of fileSystemRepresentation has 256 bytes
... Error: writeToFile
Filename has exited with status 2.

I'm not really sure, but one thing I noticed right away is that 256 > 255...

This is absolutely correct: 256 is greater than 255.
But the filename is 128 shorts in Utf-16 (and you might have noticed that 128 ≤ 255 ) and can be used in Finder and HFS+ can store it.

So again my question: why it is too long in this context and where is this documented?


Kind regards,

Gerriet.
