128 chars limit in the "Use subfolder defined by" function

[xhchrn]

Dear all, I have been using Zotero + Zotfile + OneDrive combination quite happily to sync everything. But today when I tried to save a publication from web I found Zotfile cannot move the attachment file to the correct folder defined by my "Use subfolder defined by" setting.

My Zotfile Settings

Custom Location: /Path/to/my/OneDrive/zotero
[checked] Use subfolder defined by: {%a - }{%t}{ - %w}

The report of the publication for which I ran into issues

My Observations

So the issue seems to be that, with the {%a - }{%t}{ - %w} setting for the subfolder definition, the combined subfolder for this pub is

Belkin et al - Reconciling modern machine-learning practice and the classical bias-variance - Proceedings of the NASSSSSSSSSSSSSS

which has 129 chars. If I delete one S from the Publication field, shortening the subfolder name to 128 chars, then the PDF attachment can be correctly moved to the subfolder.

I am on Windows 11, version 22H2. I am not sure this is a Zotfile issue or the Windows'. Any suggestions?
