Re: [K3b-user] File name length bug in k3b-1.0beta1

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

ok, this has nothing to do with filenames. K3b chooses the name of the firs=
t=20
single file added to the project as the volume id. And joliet restrcits the=
=20
volume id length, not the filename. K3b says nothing about file names. Mayb=
e=20
the warning is confusing but sadly we are already in string freeze.

Just irgnore the warning or give your project a proper name.

Cheers,
Sebastian
