I was not aware of this limit.
In gluon/sql.py you should replace:
newfilename = newfilename[:500] + '.' + extension
with something like
newfilename = newfilename[:120] + '.' + extension
perhaps this should be the default?

That is exactly what I was looking for, and worked perfectly :-)
Thank you again for the quick response.
It would be great if this could be a permanent change.
According to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems
FAT32 - max. 255 chars for filenames
NTFS - 226 chars
UFS1/2 - 255 chars
ext2/3/4 - 255 chars
XFS - 255 chars
ZFS - 255 chars
AFAIK those are the most common, so someone else is likely to run into
the limit at some point.
Thanx
Rowdy
