Re: Needed information regarding solving File Renaming Bug

[Pranav Ganorkar <pranavg189 gmail com>]

Hi, David.

 

If you do "git log -p" and search for "ET_File_Name_Check_Length" you should find it in et_core.c.

Thanks David . Got it.

If you are renaming several hundred files, do you think that the user should be prompted to enter a new filename for each one?

Yes, that can be a concern. then in my opinion, automatically truncating the filename could help. But I want to know why the previous implemention failed in doing this ? Why was it removed ?

Regards,

Pranav

You need to think carefully about what the appropriate course of action to
take in each situation might be, such as shortening the filename, prompting
the user for a different filename and so on.

I think prompting the user to enter a shorter filename would be a better
idea. We can convey that to the user through a dialog box. what is your
opinion on this ?
