Hi Swami,

It's an OS limitation since a very long time: always limit stack names to 31 chars extension included. You may open a file the name of which is longer if you rename it later in the finder (with some problems you know about filenames used in players with Rev prior to 2.7.3?? > I don't remember exactly when this has been fixed) but you can't save it. BTW naming a stack with a very long name is a method to avoid it saved on Mac OS X ;-)

save stack SkipChars(the short name of this stack,31,".rev") --

function SkipChars pString,pNumOfChars,pExt
if length(pString) > (pNumOfChars - length(pExt)) then return char 1 to ( pNumOfChars - length(pExt)) of pString
  return pString
end SkipChars

I got badly burned today with a stack where I added some characters to the file such that it became longer than 32 chars on Mac OSX...
<snip>
Later appears that after quitting the stack, nothing was saved at all! We noted on the finder a temp file
TAKA-talks-manager_Oc$5#45.rev
where the temp file that Rev creates on the fly had a "greeked" file name.

Is this a known bug?
