A folder of 3D project files was uploaded to my site for my benefit (host server Linux)
It is a directory with a large scale cross referenced file network much like a website. It contained a project off a PC Somewhere along the line some someone (either the uploader or a person who copied the original project) used a mac The mac or the cd writer did not understand the long filenames so filenames referred to in the master file as say: ExpeditionOrangeColor.tif now exist only as EXPEDIT.TIF It is the weekend and so far I cannot determine whether or not the error occurred at the upload stage or whether the cd that the uploader is inadequate. I would quite like to know where the problem occurred asap because - if the truncating occurred only at the upload stage, perhaps it can be sent to me again before next week (and if it can I will persist in tracking down the party who uploaded and shattering his weekend revelry) ...if it was the cd writing which lost the data then I can do nothing till next week and may as go myself, and build sandcastles on the beach till the dawning of the week. What I do know is that the uploader used a mac with OSX and Fetch (which could have been an old classic version) Anyone familiar with the behavior of macs (OSX or OS9) in various Joliet/non Joliet configurations able to make any educated guesses where the problem was Appreciate any thoughts philip =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
