Directory Opus 4 long filenames?
I was shocked today to realize that Directory Opus 4 does not support any filenames longer than 30 chars! There is a setting, but it cannot be set higher than 30. It always resets to 30 chars.
Opus 5 fixes this, but Opus 5 is not included in Classic WB. |

I have DirOpus4 (probably younger than Your Opus4), and I have long filenames :-D
Look for newer version. |

Amiga OS (3.5/3.9) supports up to 107 characters + Null with Stephan Rupprecht's WBCtrl MNL=102 107 (above LoadWB).
http://www.stephan-rupprecht.de DOpus 4.17pre21 has no real limitation for lister windows / filename length. http://dopus.free.fr Last edited by PeterK; 16 December 2017 at 18:27. |

it's the file system which limits it, pfs3/sfs can use 107 characters and dopus4 handles filenames of that length without any problem

Nice thread. Always thought this was a given limitation. Even with just pfs3aio I have limited file name length. So that will be fixed with Stephan Rupprecht's WBCtrl MNL=107, if I understand correctly?

There is a tool which comes with the full pfs3 dist called setfnsize you need to use. Open a shell and enter setfnsize dh0: 107 (change the partition names for what yours are obviously), you need to do it for every partition you want long file names on.

Aha, OK thanks! So I guess this will keep the partition in tact.
But... how do I enable longer filenames on windows drives in WinUAE (folders mounted as HDD)? Last edited by spudje; 13 December 2017 at 23:37. |

I use wbnamelength myself. It's larger and has less features , but "wbnamelength 102" is easier to understand and remember. http://thomas-rapp.homepage.t-online.de/download.html |

102 characters for icons is correct, but you're thinking into the wrong directions. The 5 characters for ".info" are counting, too. So you still need 102+5=107 charactrers for MNL=MaxNameLength to allow icons with 102 characters.
Sorry James, I'm embarrassed, you're right with the 102 characters. Next time I should better read my own code before I make any stupid statements. Last edited by PeterK; 16 December 2017 at 18:29. |

Awesome thanks. Is there a release version of Dopus 4 that supports long filenames? Or do I have to install a beta version?

I can't remember anymore if there was a limit for the filename length in the older final release versions like DOpus416JRbin.lha, since I'm using 4.17pre21 since 2003 without any big problems. You can get a list of all available older versions when you click on "More" under the last beta versions or on "Download" for the latest public packs.
http://dopus.free.fr/betas.php http://dopus.free.fr/download.php There is no limitation with WinUAE using Windows directories. Update: If you look into the DOpus4 history it says that long filename support (107 chars) was introduced in v4.13 and the last fixes were done in v4.16.

There is a problem in last few 4.17 betas, if you have DATE or/and CLOCK options on,
dopus will produce enforcer hits every second. (if you run dopus without loading complete WB setup, eg. in emergency boot situations) |
