When inputting a long directory name, the message, “Directory name is excessively long – choose more sensibly” is displayed. This message should give the maximum length of directory name allowed.

When uploading a file with a long name, the message, “File is not valid for upload - exceeds the max name length” is displayed. Again, the message does not state the maximum file length.

Directory names are now correctly limited to 40 chars and the error message states this.

When inputting a long filename, The message, “Name is excessively long (max 45 chars)” is displayed. The actual max. length is 41 chars.

When uploading a file with a long name (=> 49 chars), the message, “File is not valid for upload - exceeds the max name length” is displayed. Again, the message does not state the maximum file length.
