burning and filename lengths

I'd like be able to analyze filename lengths within the library according to the limits on the various limits in the formats of burning to disks. Making permanent changes involved flipping between the burning dialogues and the library. It's UI hell when you have many files to deal with. Even better to have sorting on the flagged files for editing. I would add columns to the library which would be true/false according to what format type they adhere to.

You could probably do this with the MagicNodes addon.

There is no preset for filename length so I suggest you ask in that thread what syntax to use in order to create such a node.

You don't need to worry about the filename length on your PC when burning discs as you can limit them in the burn dialog. Instead of using <Title> you can use $Left(<Title>,50) which limits it to a maximum of 50 characters in the filename. Do this for all fields that may run long like Artist, Album Artist and Album.

Magicnodes does just fine, thanks.
