As 3ds files are really really old, they doesn't support
long file names. Any track exported to 3ds will not be
imported in mot of 3d modelers or viewers.
Sincerely, I don't know if it is sufficient to translate the
name in the "name~1.bmp" format.
An alternative is the X format. It's plain text, maybe it's
easier to export.
Sorry for my ugly English, I had the worst teacher in
Italy...sigh!
