161412 - FizzillaCFM doesn't display long filenames in local XUL directory view

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[dmacks]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID:    2002052918

Moving from OS 9 to OS X gave Macs longer-than-31-char filenames. It seems like
file:// URLs see files in a weird 31-char compatibility mode. This is
self-consistent (file://harddrive/some-dir/ lists the corrupted names, which are
links with corrupted names, which can be opened by clicking (or entering the URL
explicitly) to give a file:// URL containing the corrupted filename which opens
the file correctly). The full filename never works either as an explicit URL or
as a link in another document or by opening such a file form the Finder.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a local directory with files having various-length filenames
2.Open the directory as a file:// URL (File...Open file...)
3.Look at the filenames as compared to their "actual" names


Actual Results:  Short filenames are correct; long filenames are shortened
(while maintaining unique names) by replacing the middle with a hex string (some
kind of Mac/HFS file ID?). Also, all links to a longname file are broken (even
to itself from a link in the longname file).

Expected Results:  The listed filenames should be the full names of the files.
HREFs to local files with long names should not break.

Attachment: Finder view (full filenames)

Example of bug...This is what the files are "really" called (agrees with 'ls'
in a shell)

Comment 2

[dmacks]

Attachment: file:// view (31-char-compatible filenames)

Example of bug...This is how all parts of Mozilla consider the filenames

Confirmed using FizzillaCFM/2002080508. Reassigning to Networking: File.
Possible dup of bug 142043 or dependant on bug 95481?

My guess as to the correct depends.

Sorry for the spam. Fizzilla CFM build is dead; should this bug go with it?

Comment 8

long file names display correctly in Mach-O

REOPEN:
This was reported on CFM right? This is a wontfix.

RESOLVED/WONTFIX
-> go to Mach-O, which doesn't have this problem.
