OK I throw in the towel... I'll rename the files for now on the users
hard drive while retaining the long file name for all other processes
other than simply to play the player... this solves the immediate
problem and by changing a few other scripts that refer to the field
that contains the path to refer instead to the custom prop that
contains a <32 filename... I'm good to go.... and I'll offer some
mangoes to the Gods of the temple of Run Rev that they will fix this
before I get back to building the other apps related to this project,
in those contexts I definitely do not want to be changing these files
names...
oh...viz-a-viz the bug categorizatioin: i guess, since I *can* carry
on, this is indeed not a true "blocker"...
:-) I see what you mean... a true blocker should mean I can't do
*anything* to continue.
global theTape
on mouseUp
answer "Are you finished with the last one? If so, shall I clear
the header info?" with "No" or "Yes"
if it is "No" then exit to top
answer file "Locate the sound file you want to transcribe." with
(fld "localPath" of stack "atra-prefs" &"/")
if it is empty then exit mouseUp
put it into theTape
put empty into fld "theTotalTime"
put theTape into fld "soundfile"
set the uActualFileName of fld "soundFile" to theTape
set the itemdel to "/"
if len(item -1 of theTape)>32 then
put theTape into tTruncatedFileName
put char 1 to 13 of (item -1 of theTape) & ".mp3" into item -1
of tTruncatedFileName
rename file theTape to tTruncatedFileName
put tTruncatedFileName into theTape
set the uActualFileName of fld "soundFile" to theTape
end if
set the filename of player "theTape" to theTape
clearHeader
end mouseUp

Setting a player to the alias resolves the alias and applies the
original path to the player's filename prop. So this alias option
doesn't get us anything. try it... make alias of long file name..
truncate alias a back to <32 chars... "set the fileName of player
i to aliasPath"....then check player's props filename will be the
original long one.
It was worth a try.
