Hi,

suddenly getting errors about image names having to be shorter than 12 characters long

1- never got that message before and NO filenames have changed : why now this error message ?
2- any option to set to kep them as is ?
3- boot CD works fine at least before that error message did pop up when I tried to save minor edited menu ( text only modified)
4- lenght means name+extension I suppose ?

Having to rename all will be fastidious : almost 50 images to rename and calls to them to rename in menus ( all high def / low def) : so much errors possiblethere !!!

TIA

Seems that it has appeared with update from EZB 5.06.472 TO 5.07.482

Using the EZB 5.06.472 dropped into the current folder ( no other change) makes that error message disappear

Hello pivert, this is a warning message for one possible problem: if you check 'DOS 8.3' when making an ISO image, longer filenames will get trouble to load.

DOS 8.3 is not checked ( neither in previous nor in actual version)

OK. This message will be disabled at the next file update.
