trouble displaying filenames longer than 8.3
Submitted by on Thursday, 22 June, 2006 - 20:05
Hello
I have been happy using JEdit version 4.2 final under windows for some time and been very happy with it.
I recently upgraded the JDK to 1.5.0_07-b03 and now I have a problem. The problem seems to coincide with the new version of JDK but I can't be 100% sure. It still edits files OK and if I open the file via "File - Open - select file" then all is well.
If I open a file via a right click and the "Open with JEdit" option, then
if the filename is longer than the old MSDOS 8.3 format it edits the file OK but displays the filename using Microsoft's dodgy 8.3 with a tilda format.
e.g. I open the file:
common_rep_lib_body.sql
JEdit tells me I am editing a file named:
COMMON~4.SQL
This smells a bit like Windows is passing a dodgy filename to JEdit however it worked OK before and it still works OK when I open the same file using a right click and "Open with" a different application like Notepad.
Any ideas ?
