Limit on the number of characters accepted for the name of a save file
In fheroes2, the number of characters you can use to name a save file is really low. And it is not possible to change the position of the text cursor in the save name field with the arrow keys of the keyboard when we reach the character limit. In the original game, the number of characters you can use to name a save file is really much higher, it is practically possible to write a novel. :)
Hello, @LeHerosInconnu! Are you sure that it's necessary to make such long names available? Even in OG you cannot see all symbols, what can confuse players. Currently savefile name fits the width of a window, and it's quite enough. (Don't forget the fact, that we also have a savefile date written in the same row, so full savefile can be seen only in a bottom bar)
Hi @Branikolog,
When the user views the save files directly in the operating system game folders, the file names are visible in full. This can be very useful for finding and sorting specific save files.
But creating an unlimitedly long files is not the best decision. Probably this problem could be solved by #1221.
@Branikolog.

Why? It was possible to do this in a program created over twenty years ago. Would today's programs no longer be able to do this?
And since the save file name fits the width of the window, I don't see where the problem is.
It is still very useful to be able to give a precise description of the game you want to save, as it's possible in the original game.
I think this is not the case anymore as we allow to enter as many characters as you want (up to 255 if I am correct). Therefore I am closing this issue.
@LeHerosInconnu , please reopen this ticket if I am wrong here.
