find a way to deal with long file names

Many times when a long file name gets put into a folder with a long file name that is already in a folder with a long file name, THEN things get crazy in terms of organizing a set of files. I get very distracted trying to compensate for this so that I can AT LEAST keep the file and the folders and get back to my main work.

XYplorer could run some type of algo (first asking permission to change names) to allow the files to be put inside each other. XYplorer could write a log of what was done showing which algo file / folder name matches which actual (previous) file name and put it in the folder affected. For example, a algo changed folder might contain a TXT file showing the old and the new. For instance: If the XYplorer's new algo file name could be "Explanation of Geometric 98732%%$ arrays" when the previously (too long) file was named "Explanation of Geometric quintuples of 4th order differentials in non-Euclidean space using conditions of collapsing dimension paradigms for complex numbers using n-dimensional arrays."

In my opinion you guys/gals at XYplorer are pretty darn smart so you could alo add some other Apple and Linux type capabilities to your product.
