not a problem, just curious as you did say Skwire's solution fulfilled your requirements...

I generally change my settings to allow writing of  r e a l l y  l o n g  n a m e s  (joliet?)

Oh, the cr*p you let onto your system!
It's time for a better scheme than that.

Hello - I know I am responding to an old thread (hopefully someone will read this)

Question about this software:
1)
right now it cuts by nnn characters
is it possible to make it cut back TO nnn characters instead?

For example, I want the total length of all - folder/paths etc. to be 180 characters, so whatever the length,
when cutting back length should remain 180 characters)
(a bit similar to CutLongNames.exe)

2) when cutting back a list of files, it should add a digit to avoid duplicate errors
so
files that have been cut back, should then read
longfilenamescutbackto180char_01.jpg
longfilenamescutbackto180char_02.jpg
longfilenamescutbackto180char_03.jpg

3)
is it possible to make this as a plug-in for Directory Opus (or work as a toolbar button)

4)
is it possible to add this to shell:sendto context menu.
meaning:
I would select a number of files, then select context menu "Maim The File" - and 'send' the files to Main The File so they are then cut back as per settings saved in Maim The File.

(Maim - what does this stand for?)

should be possible, though there is a likelyhood that you'll end up with nonsense filenames.  And what do we do where the path is the offending portion of the string (eg path lengths of 175+ characters)?

I don't use dopus so I can't help with this, but plenty here do so someone else may be able to advise

possibly... it could certainly be added to the context menu, but what you're asking for is more of a batch operation which is something I'll have to look into...

to maim is to injure such that a permanent disfigurement results.  It was a play on words given the potential for damage when renaming files
