Does ClassicWB support SFS/PFS3 or long file names in general?
If I create a. vhd file using this filing system, will I be able to use long 107-character filenames as supported by AmigaOS, and as I can do when using a PC folder in WinUAE?
Also, how can I reduce DOpus to one directory window rather than two, to fit in those long names if so? Last edited by Foebane; 05 March 2018 at 12:05. |

With Dopus4 you can not see names above its availability (you can do this with Dopus5) Last edited by AMIGASYSTEM; 06 April 2018 at 18:14. |

With psf3aio is a tool in the full dist called setfnsize in C, load up a shell and type in setfnsize dh0: 107 - you need to do it for every partition you want long filenames on and it will be set to the maximum length (of 107 including extentions).

Names column: PFS3 AIO 107 which full version? pfs3aio.lha 2.3 on aminet does not include this tool. #1) the original PFS3 aminet release does include that tool Last edited by emufan; 05 March 2018 at 13:01. |

I've got a problem with using a Windows folder as an Amiga HDD in WinUAE: the filenames of that drive, under emulation, are also truncated to 30 characters - why is that? I'm sure the filename length was a lot less limited before.
The only change I can think of is that I moved my ClassicWB install over to a FFS VHD with RDB - could that have limited the length of all filenames under that OS, for some reason? |

Super long filenames create all sorts of trouble in many programs (like DirWork). Avoid.
Also, ClassicWB is not an OS, it's an AmigaOS packaged with stuff. So whatever AMigaOS can or cannot do, classicWB is the same. |

In Dopus4, you should be able to grab the middle between the two windows and enlarge one of them by dragging to the left or right.

What do you need the long names?, these only create problems for you. Without using long names because you do not use file comments?

So I should stay as I am, with the 30-character limit? Then again, my current DOpus is easier to use, and I think longer filenames would make it more awkward. And it is working fine at the moment, but I've come across a few examples where 30 characters would NEARLY force me to shorten some names.

For example, original HTML list: Quote:
Code:
AUSTRALIAN DRUG FOUNDATION e 4.lha AUSTRALIAN DRUG FOUNDATION f 4.lha AUSTRALIAN DRUG FOUNDATION o 4.lha As you can see, this is the closest I've come to having to break my rules concerning naming convention, although I'd have to adapt if there was a longer group name. But I guess I'll have to stick with it. At least it's not the Atari ST, which is a whole smorgasbord of restrictions with the 8.3 filenames. |

FFS is limited to 32 character filenames iirc, but if adding a pc folder as a drive you should not get any shortened filenames.
