Unzipping files using large filenames.
« on: May 18, 2008, 10:11:09 AM »
Hi,
I've got a few zipfiles I would like to unzip on my Amiga. Whenever I unzip a file, it extracts all files correctly, but the filenames inside the zipfile are too long. It still unzips them but I can't use it. I can't rename the file and cannot copy it. (I unzip them in RAM:) Is this a filesystem problem?

Any trick to get around this?

I don't really understand it, it seems to handle the file as an directory or something.

If I use the tabkey, to find the file quickly, it sees the entire name, but if I want to change the name I get the message:

no more entries in directory

That must be it then. The names do indeed have those characters in them.

I'll try that out 2night. thanks
