When trying to save some files with quite long file- and directory names the files aren't saved (red stop icon next to the filename in Picard) and I get the following error if running Picard from console:

{{{
...
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/picard/util/_init_.py", line 237, in make_short_filename
raise IOError, "File name is too long."
}}}

Please tell me if you want more info or strace logs or something.
