Hi, thank you Klaus for holding up your release plan for 2.0! However, I hope this minor patch won't be too much trouble for you, as it only increases the limit of 16 to theme and skin names, letting them be NAME_MAX as almost any files, since these names can also be involved in file names. Was there a good reason to limit them at 16 only, perhaps the fear that the name won't fit on the OSD? I don't really think someone would really make use of as many as 255 characters for this. On the other hand, users just encountered crashes with plugins which (unfortunately, yet) have themes of their own, when just adding a new theme with a name longer than 16 and at the same time the original plugin author relied on MaxThemeName when allocating the string length. So, what do you think, easy to adopt? Regards, Lucian
