Thumbnail image filelename limitation?

[AdieB]

With the thumbnail setup in the Advanced Guide Article, is there a known limitation on the length of the filename. for example I have some images that have quirky names like - 129314398194083750AP1024E-DDR310600.jpg. There is a problem with creating the thumbnail images and I suspect that it is the name format.
If I set the Layout to standard images it works fine, albeit the images are not scaled. I could change the image names, but it is a big schlep!!
Any ideas please?

You should ideally name your images related to the product for seo but at least make them short and simple. Some servers may have issue with long filepaths.

You can use utiilities like RenameMaster or LupasRename to easily rename files in bulk.
