[sleuthkit-users] Separate short names from long names

[Jaime C. <jc...@id...>]

Hi all

I am using the fs_dent method to get a list of files and I noticed that 
the name attribute of the FS_DENT structure contains the long name and 
the short name in parenthesis. For example:

   HOME/MYDIRE~1/DummyFile.js (DUMMYF~1.JS)

Is there a way to avoid the short names being part of the name 
attribute? Also, is there a way to get the long filenames for the path too?

Thanks in advance,

Jimmy

Currently there is no way in the code to have only the long or only the 
short names or to have the long name in the directory path. This should 
probably be updated when I do the Unicode upgrade where the FS_DENT 
structure will have the ASCII and Unicode names.  The long and short 
versions of the name can also exist.
