Confirm Long File Name Bug in Player Object

[Peter T. Evensen]

I am also noticing, on Mac, at least, the refusal to load images that are 
reference by long name.  For example, a file named "Critical Thinking 
Instructions.png" will not load, but a file named "Critical Thinking 
Instr.png" will.  I haven't played around with enough to see if it is the 
file name or the whole path.

Has anyone else seen this?
