Player will not play long file names!

[Mark Waddingham]

Hi all,

As a work-around for this at the moment, try setting the filename of  
a player to a *real* file URL:
   e.g. file:///Volumes/Primary/Users/mark/Desktop/ 
mask_with_a_really_really_really_long_filename.tiff

This uses a QT function direct, by-passing the engine's present  
limitation of 32 characters on OS X.

Warmest Regards,

Mark Waddingham
Chief Technical Officer.
