Short (DOS) filenames in Windows using 4.2 final
Submitted by Anonymous on Sunday, 19 September, 2004 - 15:33
I've recently started to use 4.2 final on Win2k. I've used 4.1 before. Now I noticed that the JEdit window title (and Recent files list, Save as dialog, ...) shows the "old" 8.3 characters style filenames, rather than the full Win2k name. It's a bit annoying.

Could not find any settings affecting this behavior. Any idea?

I started to get this behaviour, so I tried re-installing and that did the trick. It kept my settings and plugins intact which made me happy.
