    Extended permitted path and filename lengths

    Dear PM Team,

    Pegasus Mail seems to have a limit in maximal permitted path lengths of around 128 characters (that's not too much to my view). This seems to currently cause a complete crash when e.g. an attachment is being selected which resides somewhere in a subdirectory structure and the total path and filename length exceed that permitted length.

    I personally would like to strongly opt for longer path options in PM, if technical possible, as rising volumes of data and number of files will eventually lead to more refined directory structures and consequently to longer paths and filename combinations. Many software packages e.g MS Office, seem to have limits around the 256 characters margin.

    Any views on this.

    Thanks

    Thomas

    As far as I can tell this has already been fixed in the current beta versions of Pegasus Mail. The size limit is now 256 characters.
