Hello, We found an issue when upgrading our EXR libraries to 2.0. The new libraries automatically use "long names" for the channels if channels are added with names longer than 31 characters. They set a bit of the version integer in the file header to switch to 255 character channel names. In earlier EXR libraries these channel names were automatically truncated to 31 characters. This is perfectly sensible but it means that saving single part images with channel names of more than 31 characters produces EXR 2.0 only images (as previous versions don't support "long names").
We can fix the compatibility by truncating channel names when writing single part files, however we're concerned that there may be other compatibility issue that we should be aware of. Could you let me know if there are any other compatibility issues? Is truncating names the right thing to do for backwards compatibility is there a better way to deal with this? Any help appreciated.
