Hello everybody!

I'm creating files with the LocalFileSystem, but the length is limited to 8 characters. Is it normal? How can I creat files with more characters for the filename?

In future, I'll use a timestamp for the filename...

Hi Cargo,

The files names are the standard 8.3 format, and do not support the microsoft LFN extension (for googleable reasons).

Thanks,
Simon
