Re: 32 bytes limit in IE for local files?

Correct. You'd have to use the mangled name for IE to access it via an href. Which is slightly depressing. Although I really thought this had been fixed in recent versions of IE (I've never run into it)

And yes, it's a 31 character limit. The first byte is the size of the string. Which gives you 31 bytes for the name.

While it's completely unrelated to cocoa development, yes, the 31 character pathname is a limit of the FSSpec APIs. However, if you open the file in IE, it should still read it because of the friendly thing known as name mangling.

Files with long names open in IE when double clicked from the Finder, but IE cannot open a HREF type link embedded in HTML when the file name is greater than 32 (31?) characters.
