Looks like some of my old Hollywood Edge libraries have too long of a filename for me to import into basehead. Beyond renaming thousands of files, is there a setting in basehead that can allow longer file names?

Window or Mac?
PC's are limited to 260 character limits for path and filename combined unless you turn this on.

Does this apply to files hosted on a server? With long paths enabled in the registry, it's possible to have file name + paths past 260 characters for local files, but when scanning files on a server, there is still issues with file names past 260 characters.

Victor did a fix for this coming in 5.2.1.9 for Windows later today.
