| When opening an existing AI file (or create a new one), and press "Save" the saved files is shortend to 8+2 characters. I. e. 081021~1.ai This only happens on our new NetApp server. If we try the same on another Windows server or locally on the client the file is saved with the long filename. I. e. 081021 this is a long filename.ai If we use "Save As", the long filename is kept even if we save the file on the NetApp server. We don't have any other problem with our NetApp server. What could be the reason why "Save" shortens the filename and "Save As" does not? |
