Default Long filename under MacOS X using MacPhex

MacOS X supports 255 character filenames, Java supports 255 character filename. I'm sure that Phex supports 255 character filenames, so why are all my files shortened to 30 characters?
A simple check of OS version should set the filename length, not platform.

Dammit, I never heard of this issue before. As far as I know there is no funtionality in Phex to cut down filenames. Unfortunately I have no Mac to check this so it will stay unsolved for now. Sorry.

There must have been some code in there to shorten the file names for when the old version was running under MacOS 9 with JVM 1.1.8.
I suspect that code is still operating because the environment is being detected as MacOS, not realising that MacOS X, as opposed to MacOS 9, supports 255 character file names.
Does that sound like a possibility?

Default Limit is there

Yes there is still the limit of 30 chars this is also the reason why the file name is not containing the size of the file and stuff that was in there before. That was all done for the Mac... maybe it can be removed.

It can definitely be removed. This version will never run under anything less than MacOS X as Apple has stated that MacOS 9 will never support JVM 1.2.

Default fix is comming up...

Hi...

I integrated a little fix in the next upcomming release. It alows file names up to 255 characters. The only problem is on some systems like Windows there is also a path name including the file name limitation ( on Windows 260 chars ).
Is something like this also existing for MAC?? or any other system you know about?

MacOS X runs on Darwin, which is an open sourced version of BSD. I therefore supports the same filename conventions as normal unix, with one caveat.
MacOS X runs by default on the HFS+ file system which is case insensitive.
