Limitations on file names

Post by cozzyd »

I've run into some limitations on filenames that I feel are unecessary. I'm using svn rev 6424 on Scientific Linux 5.7.

- It appears that the maximum length for the directory + results file for ElmerSolver is 128 characters, which is easily exceeded. Can this be increased simply by modifying the value in Types.src? (Or must it be modified elsewhere as well?)
- There is some strange handling of periods in the filename specified by -out for ElmerGrid (I wanted to have an output directory that has some decimal numbers in it, and it truncates past the last one... I solved it by replacing . with o, but that should be unnecessary).
