Rise creating long file names
Hi David
Yes, I already posted the workaround, but this time, after some experience of using it and transforming my experience with Rise, I thought I'd provide enough detail to point people in the right direction.
As I said, it also (unexpectedly) fixed another problem that's unresolved on this forum - that of providing your own thumbnail image.
And I fully agree that it won't suit everyone, but my only intention here is to help maybe a few people who would appreciate it.
As I've also said in my posts, Articulate have very good reasons to obfuscate, encrypt, etc - with legions of people who would reverse engineer their product and "steal" it - but I, like you, wish they'd spend a bit more time on fixing bugs and problems, some of which have been around for many years.
With this particular problem, what's wrong with creating a 32-character md5 string to replace much of the garbage in the file name?
Hey ho, crack on...
