Hello Deron.
Thanks for your prompt reply. In fact the problem is not as I first
reported. In my haste to get something off I misinterpreted what I
was seeing. It doesn't seem to be a 'deep folder' problem but rather
an 'any folder' problem.
The file I first opened is:
Users/tdc/Documents/PAGESTREAM DOCS/CHURCH/Touchline/Production/TL
134 Feb 2008 - 14 Feb 2008
When I open this file the title shown at the top of the window is
'Production'. This name also appears in the 'Open Recent' menu.
Since there are so many folders I thought that it was a 'deep folder'
problem. However, after reading your message, I created a new file on
the Desktop:
Users/tdc/Desktop/PGS 5 - Trials/Test File 2
When I open this file 'PGS 5 - Trials' appears at the top of the
window and in the 'Open Recent' menu.
I can't reopen either of these files using 'Open Recent'.
Incidentally I am also getting the distorted magnifier. It looks as
if about 2/3 of the circle is cut off by a bounding box or something
like that and then reproduced about 5mm to the left.
I will be interested to watch the development of these bug fixes but
I am going away for about 3 weeks so I won't be able to participate
myself until mid March.
With many thanks,
Cheerio,
Terence Casey

Hi Terence,
Can you give me the complete file name/path to the document in question
so I can try and reproduce something like that on my computer? I know
that some Apple calls are limited in path lengths but I thought I
avoided all of them.
PageStream itself doesn't have much of a limitation anymore. After some
really deep paths hurting PageStream on Windows I've been migrating code
to a completely limitless set of internals. Of course, still much work
to do before that is complete but where the code has not been rewritten
the limit itself is quite large (and larger than most systems allow even
now).
Thanks,
Deron
