Feature: Make file name length adjustable

[Aybee]

Is there a special reason why filenames gets truncated to 32 chars? Can you make this optional or adjustable?

Actually no, no special reason.

I created this extension to keep people from going wild when naming files since (as you might know, otherwise you wouldn't be here) using all sorts of special characters and casing can cause some real trouble on the webserver.

So if I already limit the kind of characters to be used why not limit the filename itself in length? It surely results in a better readable filename than thisfileisatotallyawesomeandbecauseofsomereasoniwilltrytomakethefilenameasdescriptiveaspossible.txt

Yes I know. Thats why I tried your extension. But unfortunately just my very first test comes up with a bad result. Trinkwasser Mönchengladbach Windberg.txt => trinkwasser-moenchengladbach-win.txt

So you can see, that its obviously better if it becomes trinkwasser-moenchengladbach-windberg.txt

Well, for now you could simply set the limit higher in CheckFilenames.php#L74. I will try to add a setting to disable to limit as soon I've got some time.

Yes I know where to increase the limit. Thank you for accepting this feature request.
