The filepath trimming work fine when only single byte characters are used.
But the treatment of double byte characters should be reviewed.

Thanks - I will.

Yes, it is fixed in 3.0.2 RC-3 (build 1134), you can check over this.

Ok - just to be clear, there was an issue that should be fixed in the next beta?

Yes, the filepath trimming really should work fine now.
Check over this in build 1134, please. (once is released)

Thanks.

There is the automatic filename stripping (cutting) when filename is longer than 200 chars. And the podcast works fine for me by using the default settings (is stripped correctly). There must be another issue. After reviewing the code I maybe see one. I'm looking into this and will be probably fixed in the next build.

MM has some default mappings for invalid characters.. some information @ http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.p ... ctFilename

Thanks - that should be good enough. I'm a little worried about invalid filename characters, but we'll see how often then actually happens.

You can use mask $left(\podcasts\<album>\<title>,240) and it will limit the path to 240 characters which should be fine for most things.

It would be better if it was an option automatically keep any path under the limit, but with the $left you can now choose for yourself.

Is there any chance that MM itself can look for these types of limitations when renaming podcast file downloads - invalid characters, max file size, etc., and handle them appropriately?

The simplest method is to save it by original file name.

e.g.
...\Podcasts\<Album>\<Filename>

REIKA,
This solved my problem right away. It was saving them as ...\Podcasts\<Album>-<Title>
So, I guess the title is way to long. Thank you for clearing this up.

I just tried the same fix, and it didn't work. However, I did notice that it will download the Jan 14 show. I get the same error with the others. I think it has to do with the punctuation that they use in the names. The show on the 14th has no punctuation.

Thanks Reika. That worked. I edited the title under "Edit Subscription" to be just "Kevin and Bean" (note that i took out the ampersand symbol as well so that might have been a problem) and it downloads fine now. Thanks a million.
