Hi Folks,

I have large collection of JPG and PDF files that need to have very
long descriptive filenames so other people can know immediately what
they contain. I've done some testing and found that if I try to burn
a file to a CD or DVD with a very long filename, choosing to exceed
the 64 character Joliet limit, the filename is still truncated at the
100 character point, including the extension, so that seems to be a
system limitation, which is OK. I don't want to go through the whole
process, however, only to find that I encounter some other problem
that would prevent me from doing this or prevent these filenames from
being read on other systems.

My question is . . . does anybody know of any problems that may be
caused by using 100 character filenames? Any advice would be much
appreciated. Thanks.

Ken

Windows supports 32000 length paths with max 260 (or 255) filename. However most programs, incl those in Windows, can only read a path with a max of 260 with a max filename of 255.
