Does anyone know how long filenames and paths can be on the nspire?

It's more, I've tested a filename with 36 characters.

edit: after testing, I think the maximal path length is 256 characters, but I'm not quite sure

Indeed, it's around 256 characters. Documents' real pathnames start with "/documents", so the user-available part of the file + folder name is slightly lower than ~256 characters.

Needless to say, the Nspire's UI is not really designed for file / folder names that long, although a tooltip showing the full folder / variable name apperas :D

And if you click on "recent files" and there is a long named file, it hangs for some seconds.
