[Bug 49127] Re: Long file names are truncated without warning
I have the problem in Ubuntu 10.10. I burn using Brasero with long photo file names(up to maybe 120 characters). No problems with any applications or file management in Ubuntu. But I need to share the photos with relatives who are using XP, and some on Win7. Opening the CD in XP, the file names become 8.3. But note, when sending a long file name out of Ubuntu as an attachment, and receiving it in XP, the long file name is retained. Put the file on the desktop and it can be used like any other file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49127 Title: Long file names are truncated without warning -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 49127] Re: Long file names are truncated without warning
I am experiencing the same issue in Jaunty. I burnt a CD for a friend who uses Windows and the file names were truncated to ~4-5 chars when viewing in Windows - I have not been able to drop it back in a *nix box to see if its the same here. I was unaware of the file name changes until my friend asked me how to tell what the file names really were; confused, I asked to see. Sure enough, the file names had been shortened to about the first word of the file name. I can understand truncating where needed, even without a 'real warning', but it seems that truncating to a set max length would be more beneficial - at least more identifying information is available to decipher the previous file name... In any case - I love using Brasero and will keep on using...

I burned a dvd using Brasero on Ubuntu 8.10 and filenames got shortened without any warning.

Just confirming that while there is a dialog telling you that filenames are too long, it won't tell you which filenames are too long and magically helps you. I also want to second the comment about it truncating filenames that are too short (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-cd- burner/+bug/49127/comments/4), for anyone burning disks of photos that use filenames as descripters, 64 characters is really not enough.

Hi, this is a "as designed" feature of the Joliet standards (an euphemism for bug??).

[Bug 49127] Re: Long file names are truncated without warning
Do you still experience the same problem in gutsy? If I remember correctly what I did in libisofs is that the truncating algorithm starts by truncating extension, but keeps minimum of 3 chars, and then moves to the name.

[Bug 49127] Re: Long file names are truncated without warning
Hi, sry, but I think this is a problem with NOT truncating the file names, as they are long but not long enough to not follow the RockRidge preferences. However, they are too long for Joliet players, so the files aren't even identified by this players. I had this problem not long ago, and I was wondering why some files weren't played in my car stereo, though xmms/mpg321 played them. After I burnt them with k3b, which gives respect to the Joliet preferences in the burn dialog and thus telling you to shorten the file names to an appropriate length, my car stereo plays them as usual.

Oops. My mistake. The CD loads just fine on another Ubuntu PC - it just shows truncated filenames on a Windows XP one.
