So, we are stuck... mmm. I guess i'll have to implement a work around to preserve the long file names in some custom prop, field or global, truncate the file name on disk... reset the player to the truncated file name... all on the fly, when the transcriber finishes work, restore the file to it's original name.. export the matching .xml file (of the transcript and metadata from the discourse) with the long name... all doable, wish me luck!

but, ideally this gets fixed on tonite's build and the next patch release that is issued every 72 hours on a cron...

Is there a technical reason for Revolution having a 31 char limit
in Mac OS X?  Obviously the OS and filesystem support longer file
names (256 chars) and there must be other Carbon application that
support long filenames.

Revolution is most likely still using the FSSpec file structure
with QuickTime.


Exactly!

That's exactly what Tuviah mentioned here:

right this is because we using fsspecs..we plan to look into fixing
the 32
char filepath limitation (either use unix paths or fsrefs) in the
next release.


QuickTime 6 introduced new movie storage functions that support all
of the fancy long names but the Rev code needs to be updated to
determine if QT 6 is installed and then use the appropriate functions.
