Renaming Files Warning

[Almonds]

I don't know if there's an option, but I wish the program would give a warning when it renames long files. A warning would allow me to manually rename those files into something useful. As of right now, the program automatically renames the files by cutting off the letters at the end and it is ugly.

Hi and welcome to the forum, Almonds!

 

You should see it in the log if the program changes any names if you have this setting active - 'Log Non Compliant File/Folder Names' in the Build tab in the Settings.

 

Like this example:

 

W 00:00:00 ISO9660 File: 'C:\A very long file name.txt' -> 'A_VERY_L.TXT'
W 00:00:00 ISO9660 File: 'C:\Also a very long file name.txt' -> 'ALSO_A_V.TXT'
W 00:00:00 ISO9660 File: 'C:\Yet another long file name.txt' -> 'YET_ANOT.TXT'

ok, here it is... keep the log window open and look at it!

What good is a warning in the log file if the program doesn't stop? You see, I get the notice of the file changes AFTER I press the Build button. The program would change the file names and then be on its merry way.

Use the Calculate button and you'll see the warning(s) in the log.

 

Also, by default, ImgBurn stops and waits on the Image Details dialog before actually burning, and that's where you'd see the warnings in the log.

The other option is not give files such long names in the first place or select a file system that can cope with them and/or relax the restrictions on your current one.
