I have modified the attachments view according to these requirements and it
works fine on my local machine. Can you give it a try with your wiki ?

If you need to control this logic, i have isolated it into
XWikiAttachmentsBySpaceNameDavView::calculateSubViewNameLength() method.

Also, which other views need to follow this pattern ?

Please have a look at the code also, everything is inside
"com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.resources.views.attachments" package.

Thanks.
