File and Folder names truncated
File and Folder names truncated
(OP)
Last week I updated from 2006 SP4 to 2007 SP1. I then started having problems when I open a file. The "Open" dialog box truncates file names to 28 or so characters(it varies), but not all long file names are truncated, it seems to be folder specific. I also noticed it does the same thing with some folder names if they are long winded.
I am running PDM Works 2007 also, but all seems ok there.
Today I updated to 2007 SP1.1 hoping this would go away, but it hasn't
Any suggestions??

I have other applications that when I "Open" can see the entire file name and the Details preview works too. It seems to be just SolidWorks.

I submitted it to my VAR, he told me he was seeing the same thing, but when he submitted it to SW, they responded by telling him they could not reproduce the problem.
So, I sent my VAR an Rx video yesterday. I have not heard back from my VAR yet. SW DID suggest I try deleting my HKCU/Software/SolidWorks key, but that did not change the problem.

Under HKCU\Software\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2007\User Interface\Settings\OpenFileDialog
the DetailViewActiveCol was set to 0x00000001, with some weird letter combination in parenthesis.
He set it to 2.
Now I don't see the truncated file names....
RE: File and Folder names truncated
Anyone with a clue as to what might cause that?
Thanks,

I couldn't find anything. I submitted this to VAR, he sent it up the line, they said they couldn't reproduce the problem. I scanned the SPR's before I even called my VAR (I normally do) but I didn't see anything associated. Did you have a particular SPR in mind?
Thanks,
