50 char limit?

There seems to be a 50 character limit on the names of directories and files in the Calibre Library on disk. This seems to fix itself when a file is copied to a device (e.g. the file name is not truncated), but this is a problem in writing technology to automatically sync the device wiht the Calibre library.

Is this limit avoidable? configurable? Necessary?

I think it can be avoided by using some of the file naming parameters in Preferences, but removing the character limit (if possible) is preferable.

Thanks,
BrianG
