Title: Amiga CD burned on PC
Post by: Amigoat on March 23, 2009, 01:25:30 AM

I'm trying  to burn a CD of Amiga files on a CD. The problem is that although I can see the long file names on the PC, when I look at the CD on the Amiga the names are shortened.

Generally I can get around this with creative naming but the text files have icons so it is only necessary to click on them to read them but on the Amiga .info gets changed to .inf and now we have two files instead of one and the '.inf' file is useless.

PC is Windows2000 using AShampoo or Nero for burning. Amiga is A1200 OS3.0.

Any thoughts/comments appreciated.

What CDFS are you using on the Amiga?

 A good idea is always keep files compressed on the peecee and only decompress them on the Amiga.

 The winblows file system don't make wonders for Amiga special control bits, ya know?

Depending on what CD file system you use, there should be some option to cut filenames to 30 chars. In CacheCDFS prefs, the option is under 'ISO 9660'... In AsimCDFS Prefs it's almost the last page, under 'RockRidge Extensions' select 'truncate long filenames' If you have a different CDFS, check its' documentation....
And rkauer has a good point about decompressing the files on the Amiga, if possible.

Edit: Ack.. IIRC, there are other options to check in AsimCDFS as well...

Windows typically use joliet extension, not rockridge.

kolla: Thanks, too tired/lazy when I posted...  :lol:
For AsimCDFS, there's a 'truncate long filenames' option for Joliet too... And for Mac HFS as well, so there!  :lol:
