File Names (character lenght)
I've noticed that the names of individual novel files as well as folder names are truncated.
If a book's title is long such as this:
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
the book's folder name may be:
123456789012345678901 (26326)
And while not shortened as much, the filename itself is also cut-off and may appear as:
12345678901234567890123456789012345 (26326).lit

What I'm wondering is a) what the limitations are for Author/Title Folder/Title Filename lenghts. I recognize they have to summatively stay under 256 characters in length (I believe that's the number) for most modern operating systems.
My concern around this is that some titles are identical except for the endings, which are not apparent in the saved files or folders they are in. In the case of a database crash (I do back mine up) or loss, the reimporting these files will be painful, as the filenames will not help you to distinguish each document's true identity. You'd have to go through them one by one.
If I'm missing a place to edit/control these limits, please direct me to it.
p.s., I'm on Vista 64bit.
