Number of characters in file name
« on: 2020 February 02 17:40:23 »
Pixinsight v 1.8.8-2 will not recognize my filename that appears to have too many characters in the file name.

File name in question is:

Flat_filter7_2020-02-01_060400_1x1_0.29sec_-15CFlats ProED ASI1600 Pro 20191228_fpos_18941_amb_11.0C.fit

When I truncate the file name, the software recognizes the file.  Can you address this in a future build so my files can be read?

Thank you,

Jay Landis

The allowed number of characters in a file name is determined by your operating system, not by PixInsight.
