Hangs on long file names in Ubuntu about redditdownloader HOT 3 CLOSED

Hmm, this shouldn't be happening since a few releases ago, where RMD was modified to shrink filenames.

Can you post the output pattern you're using, if it's different from the default? Also, an example of the post throwing the issue would be helpful, if you know which one is triggering it.

Actually, I think I see the issue. I was under the (incorrect) assumption that Linux supported longer filenames, but I think RMD is hitting a filesystem limitation there.

I'll roll out a fix in the next update. In the meantime, you can manually fix it by editing one line in /classes/util/stringutil.py. Simply change max_len = 1000 to max_len = 230.

Thanks for looking into this. My problem appears to be fixed.
