      TZUTC: -0800       MSGID: 56631.sync_sys@1:103/705 2b8e415b       PID: Synchronet 3.20a-Linux master/f4a2249b0 Sep 21 202 GCC 12.2.0       TID: SBBSecho 3.21-Linux master/4c394e1e5 Nov 03 2024 14:54 GCC 12.2.0       BBSID: VERT       CHRS: ASCII 1       https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues/810#note_5871              The problem is actually in constructing a meaningful/useful short name (25       chars or less) from those longer paths.       You don't likely want duplicate short names and SCFG is preventing that.       SCFG sees that "handheld/handheld/adventure" is > 25 chars long, so it uses       "handheld/adventure" instead (for the new dir's short name), but that short       name is already taken because "handle/adventure" was already added. Any       automated solution by SCFG would include adding gibberish to your user-visible       directory short names, and I don't think you'd want that.              I recommend merging the nested "handheld" directories with the higher level       ones of the same name and then removing handheld/handheld/* from the dirs.raw       file. This likely was some file management mistake in the first place.       --- SBBSecho 3.21-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 153/757 7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 30 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 114       SEEN-BY: 229/206 317 400 426 428 470 550 700 705 240/1120 5832 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 5006 282/1038 291/111 292/8125 301/1 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124       SEEN-BY: 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35       PATH: 103/705 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
