is there some type of trick i can use so i can get past this limitation?
Not currently.
i would put that right on the top of the things to do with updating synchronet's file base specs.
i just imported a bunch of dirs and it made a huge mess because of the dir codes. the filename 8.3 limit prevented a decent import
No, that'd be the 8-char code suffix limit.
I can add an additional "virtual directory name" field (per directory) that could be used for that purpose. You'd likely need to do a lot of copy/pasting or typing to get that field populated how you like (for each directory) though.
Or would you just prefer an option to just use the
already-configured short or long directory name *as* the virtual directory name in place of the internal code (as is done now)?
this sounds good. people would have more descriptive dir name listings if they have long file names.
Long directory names I think you mean, but yes, I understand.
it would also be good to make a virtual dir on the ftp server where it
shows the directory for the users and the sub dirs.
I'm not clear what you're suggesting there.
