I thought I lost them via the recycle bin [truncating them when moved from there to the desktop]... but when I saw your reply here, did a search for *.raindrops as I remembered they started with that word, and found the originals as I have been copying my project folder nightly to a separate folder for archiving! Duh! I didn't even think to look there... these are the original file names (they were jpg's not png's) ... the file name I made up to test was probably close to the length of the first one... I did not test various lengths to see where the breaking point is...

Appreciate your gracefulness.

EDIT: Just tried renaming a file to the first shorter name, and it did not cause an event when placing a picture. Then renamed the file within Sigil using the Images Folder -> rename function, to the longer name, and after renaming and going to place a picture, when the file insertion window opened, it solarized and hug AFTER pressing the thumbnail +/- buttons a few times.

Looks like anyone can try this by just renaming a file something long.
