In Toast 6, if you make a Hybrid PC/Mac disc with files longer than 64 chars, the names will be truncated to 64 chars. You can still access the file, by manually copying it over and renaming it properly, and appending the right extension (eg. .jpg).

However, if you try to copy off the disc the fold with that file in it, Windows Explorer will choke, saying it can't find the file.

This is I believe a limitation of Windows' discs, but at least with Windows software it gets around it.

Has this problem always been there, or is it new with Toast 6?
