By the way - I have found that it is not too complicated to re-save books in an older Calibre version - I have 0.9.2 - and this way I have my longer names back again. I only need to select the book and go to Edit Metadata and then click OK, that's all.
I have the latest 64 bit Calibre version, and also the above 32-bit Calibre version on my PC. The latest 64bit version don’t mind the longer names, and if I don't Edit Metadata of the book with the longer name, it is not changed.

So when the book belongs to some series which I like to save in the format I explained above - e.g. [Time Patrol 1] The Guardians of Time - Anderson, Poul, I can open it in the old Calibre version and it would be saved appropriately, while in the latest Calibre version I would finish with something like [Time Patrol 1] The Guardia - Anderson, Poul

Of course it would be nice if the names could be limited only by the windows limits. Or it would be nice if the covers would have the book name .jpg, but it is possibly impossible...

Regards

Have a nice xmas
