External Filename Truncation

I'm running v 6.10 and own a bunch of books with the volume number and year embedded in the title. Suppose the epub title (metadata) is:

The Mega History of the World Part 1 2023

and the author is

Melvin Brooksoniaphile

When Calibre puts it into the directory on the computer, I invariably see a filename that looks like:

The Mega History of the World Par - Melvin Brooksoniaphile.epub

Is there a setting in the program that would output the full title without truncating the tail end?

Output - yes, store in a library - no.

See ==>> Want to change folder structure or file names in the Calibre library?

And ==>> Why doesn’t calibre let me store books in my own folder structure?

Pretend the copies Calibre stores don't exist, because they are part of the database of the catalogue. Only use ebook copies via "Send to Device" or "Save to Disk".

What BetterRed says.
