Well, the problems are that it abbreviates the file-names. So, concretely. I wanted to copy a whole batch of files, all with similar file names (photos, whose file names carry the date-hour-minutes etc which makes the file names long), So I marked all of them in dired, copied all of them over the net in a batch to the file-server, using "smb" as protocol. But that breaks, as some of the files in the target system get the same file-name via abbreviation, which results in name clash and the copy-batch stops at that point. Michael> Best regards, Michael.
