Hi there,

I know this subject as already been mentionned, but this feature is quite annoying.
Whatever is the destination path (C:\tmp\ or C:\this is my long directory\with a subdir\and another one\my books type\), the filename is shorted to 126 chars.

I've added some custom fields in calibre (universe, type) and I want all these fields in my filename when I export.

I didn't export my book for a long time (probably at least 1 year), so I noticed that yesterday and can't say if it's due to an upgrade of calibre (5.x ? use of python 3 ?) or windows (10 21H1). I think it didn't happen previously (calibre 4.x and win10).

Is there a way to add a parameter (export preference ?) to choose the max size of a filename ?
