When Calibre saves the file, it truncates the name of the book to "This Is One Heck of a Long File" and then adds the author name, so that the file ends up being called something like "This Is One Heck of a Long File - I_ M_ Author.epub". The part of the filename that is created from the book title is now truncated to 31 characters, whereas previously it used (approx.) 36 characters (I believe it was 36 characters, but I haven't counted in a while. It was definitely more than 31 characters.). Anyway, I have ended up with duplicate filenames because of this, but only on l-o-n-g book names.

Its been like that for the 2 years I've been using Calibre.
But I cant see any difference between latest and earlier versions of Calibre, which is what the OP seemed to be implying in his first post.
BTW when I save the two Stiglitz books in my example to disk they still get the same name and Part 2 overwrites Part 1 <sigh>
Code:
Lessons of the North Atlantic Crisis for Economic TheoStiglitz Professor of Economics at Columbia University.epub
Its mainly a problem with academic publications written by a prof and a phalanx of PhD students
