Scan & Fix 100 registry errors freePublisher's Description
From Fine Matter Software:
The Mac OS9 Finder and most OS 9 applications (and ASIP file servers) have a maximum character limitation of 31 for either file or folder names. Mac OSX allow much longer file names than does Mac OS9.
At best these longer file or folder names get truncated with names ending in what is "gibberish". At worst, when attempting to copy a folder containing a few of these files with longer names, the copy will be prevented thereby requiring the user to locate the problematic files. In folders with many files this can become a time consuming task.
This simple drop application was created to take those OSX "unfriendly" long names and truncate them, including and respecting any file extension, to the 31 characters that OS9 accepts. In addition, to avoid name conflicts, the program will uniquely number each file or folder before the extension up to a maximum of 999.
Just drop the folder or the files on top of the application and the rest is handled automatically. You can then be assured of no random names being generated and all files uniquely named and numbered as well.
If you have hundreds files, the process can take a bit of time and as long as the application is running (check your DOCK) it is still doing its job although you may have full control of your mouse.
If there are any errors, a log file will be created on your desktop detailing the problem.
What's new in this version: Added status text to main window showing the filename length setting. Basic testing on MacBook running Snow Leopard OS 10.6.2 so let us know if you find problems.

"It works as expected & as co-developer I am biased."
Version: X29-Renamer 1.6
Pros
Does exactly what it is supposed to do rename long files to predefined standard; intent to remove problems when moving from an OSX desktop to a legacy, OS9 machine or an older PC server. This was not created for any other purpose.
Cons
Using product will not make you rich except if you use the time it saves to do that. :-)
Summary
It is free so you have nothing to lose. We created it for one of my client's a number of years ago and still get emails from appreciative users where this solves a need. It has been updated to address any bugs or features needed. I would pay hundreds of pennies for this product.
