KNOWN BUGS


SRename will try to use long filenames if told so even on filesystems that don't support them (like FFS), so on such filesystems filenames longer than the maximum allowed length (30 characters on FFS) will be trimmed by the filesystem itself.

Similar behaviour can be expected for filename comments. SRename allows for comments of up to 120 characters in length, but in the end the filesystem can reject the comment if it's too long (up to 80 characters for FFS).

Note that dos.library up to version 40 (Kickstart 3.1) doesn't allow for more than 107 characters in filenames so this limits even filesystems that allow for longer filenames than that.

CrossDos can behave erratically when renaming files that use it's filesystem. This isn't a fault of SRename or other rename programs.
Such a problem according to a user is that the last characters of filenames are lost in renaming. This can be fixed by using full pathnames and not doing a CD to the file's location and renaming it from there. Thanks Kempy.
