Photoshop keeps croping file names to 27 chars?

Photoshop 8 keeps croping file names to 27 characters long (and then the period and extension). I did a little looking in preferences. I am saving the files via save for the web. How do I stop this?

can't you simply do "SAVE AS..." and specify a filename?

In system versions before Mac OS 9, file names can have up to 31 characters. When we talk about long file names in the Macintosh, we usually mean names longer than this 31 characters limit. In Mac OS 9 and later, including Mac OS X, file names can have up to 255 Unicode characters (Unicode is an international standard using 2 bytes per character and allowing to represent most written human languages).

The HFS+ file system and Mac OS 9 support file names of upto 255 unicode characters, previous versions only supported 31 character names. But most applications do not yet support the longer names, the finder doesnt even support them. So, at this time you cant really use names longer than 31 characters, even though the underlying file system supports them.

So this will only effect older versions of MAC OS9? I'm not too worried then as the files are on pages that do not concern mac users (or vice versa I would be easily aware if a page should support an older mac system).

You might want to try this.

On the 'Save For Web' window, on the very top right hand corner of the 'Preset' section, there's an arrow. Clicking on that arrow and go to 'Edit Output Settings'. On the 'HTML' drop down, change it to 'Saving Files' and uncheck 'Mac OS 9'. This will let you save as web w/ the file names more than 27 characters.
