Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner

UI operations freely translated from Swedish:
From the GNOME desktop:
Places -> CD/DVD-creator
Drag a folder into there named "buildTools".
Click "burn to disk".

When the disk is done, put it into a Windows machine.

Current result:
The "buildTools" folder name is truncated.

Expected result:
The "buildTools" folder should have been named "buildTools" even on Windows.

According to Help->About, this is Nautilus 2.16.1.

This *could* be a dup of bug 49127, but they don't detail in that bug what they mean by a "long" file name so it's hard to say.

Thank you for your bug. The described example works fine on my feisty desktop, not confirming the bug. Maybe somebody getting can confirm and forward upstream

This problem is only on dapper, I think.

On edgy, have had one upgrade to fix it.

But it's good to know that will not need some upgrade on festy ;)
