Thank you Steveshanks! I have passed on the information by email along with an addy to this thread. Hope he joins in. hi compiler, funny to find you lurking here, lol. I am intersted in that issue also, compiler. I began limiting the length of the texture files after one MAC user complained. From what I know, the issue with long file names is only dealing with texture file names, and the length of their folder names, combined. I would be interested to know what the rules about long names myself. But, for the meantime, I am just keeping them short enough to work on MAC.
