I have been playing around a bit with Brasero and K3b. Brasero does automatically generate a md5 checksum file which it adds to the burnt disc but unfortunately Brasero truncates file names > 64 characters. K3b doesn't truncate long file names but also doesn't create a checksum file.
Is there any way to prevent Brasero from truncating long file names?
