| Long File Names I've been emailing the engineers at Qdea regarding issues with their Beta, and now official release of Synchronize Pro X, which is my favorite syncing program. Anyway, they said (forgive me for trashing the email) something to the effect that they were waiting for Apple to open up the architecture for long file names in the dialog. Apparently it is a restriction that Apple purposely put in for whatever reason. Qdea is optimistic that it will change soon. My personal opinion is that Apple purposely put the limitation in to smooth the transition for non-power users as well as the rest of us. When you think about it, there are plenty of good reasons to temporarily limit long file names in the save dialog. For example, if you work in a multi OS workgroup and you save, say an InDesign file with long file name links, they will all be broken in OS 9. Apple wants to make sure that people are ready for this. That's just my opinion, that may not be in fact why they did it, but it sounds good.

 AppleWorks 6.2.4 has been released. It's only a US version, and it STILL doesn't provide long filename support.

| Today's AppleWorks update provides better support for saving and opening MS Office documents. Worth the upgrade on OS 9 and OS X. At least we know that it's not dead at Apple, however they sure didn't go out of their way to make it a known update. Maybe 7 is getting closer every update? |
