[Question] Why not convert file name to 8.3 format in the web interface?

[gaby64]

This is doable in javascript.

When the machine is marlin, why not save the user some hassle and just convert the name on the fly to 8.3 format?

This bring more test and more code than just rename to do it properly:

• inform new name to user
• what if this short name already exists?

why not ask Marlin to support long name and save everyone hassle? all other fw support long name So https://github.com/luc-github/ESP3D/discussions/326
