Prior to upgrading to the new firmware files could be created with long filenames (presumably there is a length limit, but I didn't try anything long enough to hit it).

After the upgrade to 2.0 there appears to be a file name length limit of 20 characters: none of the applications allow files to be created with longer names, and attempts to rename files to have longer names also fails. Long file names created prior to the upgrade are preserved however, so this seems to be UI related, rather than being a change in the underlying file system.

Anyone else seeing this? Any workarounds?

Cheers,

Miles
