Long download names?

[Iomega0318]

Is there a way to shorten long download names?
For example the following would be:

Code Select Expand

RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Cingular_US_3.26.502.56_Radio_3.02.4740.14_34.22.701040.19L_release_246712_signed.exe
but would be shown as:

Code Select Expand

RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Cingular_US_3.26.502.56_Radio_..._signed.exe
but when you mouse over it would still show you the long name or whatever..

Just curious if this is possible, let me know and thank you for any assistance.

Not exactly what you asked for, I know.

But, the only other way that I can think of by using aliases.

Do you mean attachments names?

Do you mean attachments names?

Yeah I mean long attachment names.

The only similar thing is the shorten_subject function, but the result will be: "this_is_my_long..." with "..." at the end and not in the middle.

Hmm that could still work...

Maybe you could modify Sources/Subs.php's shorten_subject() to preserve a bit of the right end plus the extension, if there is a recognized extension (.exe, etc.). Instead of taking "length" of left end, take left end(length-len(right end)) ... right end. You might even do that in general (say, 8 characters off the right end, regardless of whether there's a real extension or not):

Code Select Expand


return $smcFunc['substr']($subject, 0, $len-8) . '...' . $smcFunc['substr']($subject, -8, 8);


Assuming -n works the same way as with the substr() function... I haven't tried it. My code assumes that $len will always be 9 or larger... you may want to check $len.
