Increasing PATH_MAX to 8092 and NAME_MAX to 512

Rehello @joseogando :slight_smile:

I don’t know.
At least it is not in Nautilus/Files, since ls could not found the file either.
I hope Firefox team can sort this out and propagate the bug report to the right place if needed.

Limitations are usually somewhat arbitrary. Increasing NAME_MAX will fail again if the filename to save is 512 bytes.

Yes, but I would have a much harder time to find such a webpage title on legifrance.gouv.fr.
As I said the probability for real case diminishes exponentially. I will not argue this further.

File name collisions are things that are common and could be handled. i.e. if I download the same file the default behavior is to append a (1), (2)… etc.

Right, this is already handled in Firefox. I’ll need to check if it works with too long filenames though. Otherwise, I may have to write a second bug report for Firefox team.

P.S. added thought. Try Zotero private collection.

Did you read post#18 ?

Hello @dragonfly41 :slight_smile: ,

Try this short url link .

Thanks, the same text as an article of law and when I try to save it in Firefox, the name is prefixed by "Article 1 - " and it fails also (and it is truncated slightly before the truncation in my original link because of the prefix). I don’t know if you found this by trial or if you automatized it. Using a bot scraping webpages on legifrance, it could be checked if 512 bytes is enough for legifrance. Since Google must have all of it indexed, too bad I cannot query directly Google for ā€œtitle-max-lengthā€ and site:legifrance.gouv.fr. It would be the best solution before requesting something.

P.S. added thought. Try Zotero private collection .

Nice :). That seems more like I would do it myself. I quickly compared with Tellico suggested by @g-schick . I like the fact that in Zotero collections and tags are non exclusives. It is like labels and nested labels inside Gmail. In my opinion, the best of Tellico/Zotero/Gmail labels is to have ā€œPropertiesā€, then a label (Gmail)/tag(Zotero)/collection(Tellico, Zotero) nesting level is just a boolean property, and additional ā€œfieldsā€ (Tellico) are just properties which can have values that are strings, double, integers or booleans. I worked with such a thing a few years ago. It was very powerful. And in database, it is easy as pie, you need at least:

  • table property_def: id, property_name, property_type, id_ancestor_property
  • table property_value: id, id_property, id_object (it is id_file for Zotero and Tellico, id_email for Gmail), value where value is a long string that can handle serialization of (strings, double, integers or booleans, arrays of choices, etc.)

The model can be improved further and optimized but it is very powerful.
But the entry cost is quite high :).

Did you read post#18 ?

I have read your first post before starting to answer to @joseogando.
There is a lot to read and learn.
On first read, I understood ā€œOk, it seems to be a better recipe than what I suggested to extract the data with AIā€. But I need to reread it and check all details before I can answer you, if I have something to ask or something I think can be improved.
I just added a comment on my Firefox bug report:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1959738
regarding duplicate files.
I need to send a bug report to tar.
I need to send an email to Linux kernel.
I will look again at your first message after that :).

Best regards,
Laurent Lyaudet

Bug report for tar is here:

I just now tried installing tellico to see what it offers. It does not recognise some exotic mimetypes I use (including custom mimetypes). I think my other KDE installation Krusader fits my needs better and I use this to launch a constellation of files in my desktop. Appealing is the useractions capability so that you can apply custom useractions.

On the matter of Zotero do explore the plugins available . ZotFile for example.

Krusader | Zotero | Quarto | Recoll + numerous editors CherryTree | Sublime Text | Zettlr is my winning front team. Plus others sitting on the bench.

…

another idea …

Actiona is a nice tool (UI emulator) from French developer. I use it often in workflows.

You can arrange all of your long named URL’s in an Actionscript file (myvars.as) and paste into Code object to be referred to by other Qtobjects. I use Sublime Text to write my arrays of vars.

I suggest pasting from Sublime Text because my eyes find it difficult to use the Actiona default code editor.

thus you might have

var legal = [

ā€œhttps://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/jorf/id/JORFTEXT000051445248?datePubli=10%2F04%2F2025&nature=DECISIONā€,

…

…

];

var invoices = [

];

Then use the var arrays in Actiona to launch pages and files.

Hello,
Sorry for the delay.
Here is the current state of my request:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/CAB1LBmuNcgeFfEsqUW=hR5x=Q_96ox2wnpZXevxyy9PgdyhbQw@mail.gmail.com
I asked on linux-newbie for the best mailing list to ask,
but got no answer.
And today, I chose linux-fsdevel to ask.

Hello @dragonfly41 :),
Sorry for the delay. I took a careful look at all the apps you recommended.
This is off-topic for this thread which is now about increasing NAME_MAX and that’s it.
But I use gedit for taking notes and pdflatex when I want to publish something more evolved.
I don’t think I will take the time to learn new tools for these simple tasks.
Best regards,
Laurent Lyaudet
