Description Sam Smith 2005-01-07 13:05:06 UTC 
When trying to manage an image collection using gtksee 0.6.0_beta1, I tried to rename several files using the edit-->rename menu option and the ctrl-r shortcut.  In both cases, I was limited to a filename of 10 characters in length.  

even dos did better than that!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. have image
2. attempt to rename
3. type in a long file name

Actual Results:  
would not take input beyond 10 characters (including period, etc)

Expected Results:  
let me use long filenames

Comment 1 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-09 23:06:30 UTC 
yeah, don't use gtksee, use gqview.  It's much nicer.

I'm going to mark this bug UPSTREAM since it's really a limit placed on the interface by the upstream developer.  Since I can't get ahold of them, I imagine that soon I'll just remove gtksee from portage.  It doesn't seem to be under development anymore.
