combining multiple files into 1 scene can create too large paths on Windows

[Majea]

If you create a combination of multiple dd2vtt files into a single scene, the module creates a file that concatenates the file names of the different source files. On windows, this can lead to a full path that exceeds the maximum path length. When that happens:

• the import seems to have worked but the background image is not present
• there is an invalid file with a partial file name in the target folder
• That file cannot be deleted by the windows explorer, by the del or rm function or by folder deletion, even using the DOS short name (that name is also invalid)
• The only way to get rid of the file is to use a "chkdsk drive: /f /x". I did this after renaming the folder to a shorter name. Then I could still not delete the file but I was able to delete the folder.

Suggestion: use a random UUID as temp file name or use the final file name from the begining, since you're renaming it in the end after all.

Workaround for users: if you realise you'll be joining multiple long file names, think about renaming the dd2vtt file names beforehand so that the concatenated file path no longer exceed the windows max path length.

Sounds pretty reasonable. I'll have a look at.
