File Names Created During Publishing Exceed 260 Character Limit

Dec 13, 2021

I've seen a few threads on this issue, however I didn't see a resolution. We are using Articulate Presenter (with Quizmaker questions on a handful of slides). When publishing, some files that are created during publishing have upwards of 75-85 characters just in the file name. Specifically, the files in the mobile folder seem to be the worst culprits. I've included a screenshot below. For example one of the file names is "5Vlz2QAcR4L_d7CqgcSAkcl102Module_LessonIntroshp8_80_DX116_DY116_CX87_CY87.png". That's already 77 characters for just the file name. When our client adds the full course depot directory to that, it's going over the 260 characters.

Any thoughts or advice on how we can help them get these files to where they don't throw this error? Should we suggest they shorten the file folder name we provide (or names are a bit long but it's necessary for our record keeping structure).
