Classic31 is a software that identifies filenames with more than 31 characters and calculates how many characters need to be deleted to comply. It's a convenient tool for managing file-naming conventions.
Mac OS X has brought a new feature that enables users to create filenames containing up to 256 characters, unlike in the classic Mac OS that only allows for a maximum of 31 characters. This improvement is a significant advantage for users who need to name their files with long and detailed titles.
However, when transferring files to the classic Mac OS, filenames with more than 31 characters may not display correctly. They will appear as a truncated version with a coded extension at the end such as "this_filename_is_to_lo#5A0B9.jpg".
To address this issue, users can implement Classic31, a tool that counts the number of characters in filenames and alerts them if they go over the 31-character limit. Classic31 provides users with information on how many characters to delete to comply with the classic OS naming convention. Additionally, it allows for direct editing via dialog window, making it easy for users to modify filenames according to their needs.
Overall, the combination of Mac OS X's ability to handle longer filenames and Classic31's guidance for compatibility with the classic Mac OS is a great solution for users who require flexibility in naming their files while ensuring their compatibility across different systems.
