Hi,
I'm experiencing stuff which made me rub my eyes in disbelief... A
file I created with FolderItem.SaveAsPicture() mysteriously
experienced a "cut" to the filename - the extension read ".pn" instead
of ".png". Further experimenting appears to show that the filename is
being cut off after the 32nd character every time. And yes, this is on
Mac OS X, not Mac OS 9 ;)
What's worse is that this filename cut is not reflected in the .Name
or .AbsolutePath properties of the FolderItem. As a side-effect, the
SaveFileAs() yields an errro code of 101 (="File not found").
I tried to "MoveFileTo" the file to another name, but this appears not
to work - it might be due to the fact that the folderItem
"disconnected" from the file - after all the Filename property does
not match the true file name.
Can anybody confirm this? Or should I hunt for some stupid/obscure bug
in my own code (might not be the first time)? If this is really a RB
bug, I might try to create a temporary file first, and later move it
into place. But I guess that GetTemporaryFolderItem might return
longer-than-32-characters filenames as well, right?
Hmmm....
Cheers,
Frank+++
