Recently i've downloaded update for my GBA nointro colelction, which contained one file with a VERY long name: "2797 - Harry Potter Collection - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone + Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets + Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Nl,Pt,Sv,No,Da).zip"
uttorent placed it in my download dir, which itself lies in several subfolders. In result the path for this file was longer then 256 symbols and i wasn't able to do anything with it. Only after renaming of parent directories, i was able to move this file.
Guys, i understand that there is a naming policy which you all follow when files are being renamed, but such long names are really ridiculous. You can't place such file anywhere except one or two short subfloders.
I think "2797 - Harry Potter Collection (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Nl,Pt,Sv,No,Da).zip" is good enough name for this ROM. What do you think guys?

With the new gamepack convention, the new filename should be:

Same thing, as you see.
Automerged Doublepost.
This looks much better. So, i hope, it will be fixed in the next dat?With the new gamepack convention, the new filename should be:
Harry Potter Collection - The Philosopher's Stone + The Chamber of Secrets + The Prisoner of Azkaban (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It,Nl,Pt,Sv,No,Da)
