Just to update - I did TRY the last suggestion about the stringcat function on my MAC installs - and so far I have NOT YET encountered a file length problem on my WINDOWS installs opening the same library.

I have not PUSHED THE LIMIT of this yet - to know if I am just getting "lucky" - testing all known past examples of when I got that problem. But thus far - and when I look at the filename that is stored it appears to be concatenating sufficiently (I can see that on the book title in particular - where this really becomes the issue primarily). But one thing I have not checked - is if I have a multi-layered (subdirectory intensive) file structure - where I also know this has a LIMIT in windows - that can really add up and use up the allowed length.

But my fingers are crossed - that this may indeed have worked. I'll update as I keep my eye on this.
