Extreme Internet Software forum

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding something, but:
The maximum path length is one issue (and the length of subfolders can already be shortened through adjustments in the regular expressions).

However, the character limit could be implemented as a constraint on the maximum file name length, couldn’t it?
Under "Save" → "File Name" → "Additional", you can already specify whether and how many characters should be removed from the beginning or end of the file name.
Could an option not simply be introduced here to automatically shorten the file name once a specified length is exceeded?

For example, all file names could be trimmed to a maximum of 100 characters (removing any excess characters from the beginning or end) – in other words, if a file name is longer than 100 characters, the extra characters would be deleted.

Wouldn't that work?

Are you sure it's about the file name length? I'm asking because there is a built-in algorithm that is supposed to shorten long file names automatically. So, either the algorithm fails or there is something else to blame in this situation (like some strange characters in the URL).

Can you give me a thread page address where this happens?

Hello Maksym,
oh, I see there is already an automatic file name limitation – so the problem might indeed lie elsewhere.
Unfortunately, I do not have the exact error message.
I believe the issue occurred while trying to download a GIF (presumably the avatar of a forum user).
I suspect it involved this URL:
https://celebforum.co/showthread.php?t= ... ls&page=43

My main concern was the maximum file name length. If that is already in place, then my concern becomes redundant.

I am currently trying to reproduce the error (with the GIF files) and will let you know – perhaps it points to another issue.

Thank you very much for your help in any case.
