"The sketch name had to be modified" grammar

[gregdeon]

'Save as' with an invalid file name reports a few things about files, saying that "They should also be less less than 64 characters long."

Can you specify how to replicate this ? I tried a 70character long name and I can't seem to be able to open the file at all.

[ankitdaf]

That is correct, The Arduino IDE uses Processing as the base, and that sets the file limit at 63 characters to be precise, and here's the relevant code for it : https://github.com/processing/processing/blob/33e361b13f490562fa39f7241164885cbc169a70/app/src/processing/app/Sketch.java Line 1492

I still can't replicate the issue though

[gregdeon]

Hmm. That's bizarre.

Just submitted a fix to the grammar at #1879.

Closed with #1879. I don't know the exact reason for the 64 char limit, it may be due to file-system constraints on some old OSs.
