File extension length limit
Hi,
Today I noticed IV can't handle file extensions longer than 9 characters, at least in case I will describe:
I use sw called ExifTool to process Exif data. It preserves backups by appending _original to extension, e.g. img01.jpg_original. So I tried adding jpg_original to "Load custom filetypes" field in IV but it didn't work. I suspected the problem was string length and indeed it only works if extension is <10 chars. So .jpg_origi is the longest string that works. I remember the 8.3 days but Windows now handles 260 char filename+extension and doesn't impose a limit on extension specifically. So 9 chars max. is a weird cutoff. I don't know if it's an IV bug or some coding limitation I'm not aware of.?
Edit to clarify: there's no problem when files are opened directly, but IV ignores them when browsing a folder.
