Im using Zinc v2 to add some extra functionality to flash.
I was wondering if someone else whos a Zinc-user could try some code for me to determine wether the problem Im having is due to a restriction in Zinc, or if it has to do with some problem with my system.
copyFrom = "Galleries1.txt";
copyTo = "Galleries2.txt";
mdm.copyfile(copyFrom,copyTo);
This should produce a copy of “Galleries1.txt” called “Galleries2.txt”.
But instead the copy is called “Gallerie.txt”, ie. only the first 8 characters appear in the filename.
I do sometimes (when I copy a folder containing files with filenames longer than 8 characters) recieve a system popup-box saying “Destinationfolder does not support long filenames. Rename the file [box for renaming files]”.
Update:
The plot thickens. I just discovered that some filenames longer than 8 characters, gets copied correctly, while others do not.
It seems to depend on what the FIRST letter of the filename being copied is.
If the filename begins with, for instance, A, B, G, T, the copy gets a filename with only 8 letters.
Ex:
ANIMATIONS_1.txt -> ANIMATIO.txt
etc.
If the filename begins with, for instance, C, D, F, M, it gets copied correctly, with fulle filename (>8 letters).
Ex.
DICTIONARY_1.txt -> DICTIONARY_2.txt
etc.
Ive tried this with at least 5 different names for each of these letter (didnt try more letters), and thats the only pattern I can find.
Very strange indeed. Must be a problem with my system, but cant be sure before testing on others. Do you get the same result, or does all work well?
