Hi Massimo, Still has this issue... :(
I am using 2.14.6 web2py running in windows7 with pydal 17.03 and python 2.7 I have this filename 54 characters (including '.pdf ') This is the field on my db.py After i add a record including an upload file this is the Error Adding record including upload file Need help on resolving this issue since i cannot control the filename length of the user will upload Also i check the length newfilename length and including its path hope it helps The error is directing to this file I also tried changing my field with length value but still error upon adding files with upload Thank you in advance, Jak On Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 10:41:55 PM UTC+8, Massimo Di Pierro wrote: > > web2py renames the uploaded filenames as tablename+code+hash.extension > > The total len(tablename+code+hash+extension)<=512 > This means len(hash) <= 512 - len(tablename+code+extension) > The hash is a base64 encoded of the original filename. > If this hash exceeds 512 - len(tablename+code+extension) the file is > truncated. > Mind this is still a lot of characters. > > Massimo > > > On Monday, 20 July 2015 20:36:50 UTC-5, Scott Hunter wrote: >> >> Is this an oversight or a conscious decision?
