Asset and bin name limitations

The maximum number of characters in an asset path name, including the bin name, is 259 characters. This includes separators such as "\" and parts of the path name that are not visible in AppCenter. The file system limits the number of bytes in a name as well as the number of characters. The values in this table apply to names in English and other languages referred to in ISO 8859-1. The full count of 259 characters might not be available with some other character sets.
Asset name, bin name, and path
Sections of an asset/path name The rest of the path name (i.e. everything apart from the bin and asset names) Bin name Asset media directory and extension Asset name and extension
Naming limitation This part of the path name is not visible in AppCenter. The bin name can be up to 227 characters (which would leave room for only a 1-character asset name) This part of the path name is not visible in AppCenter. The directory name is the same as the asset name. 4 characters are reserved for the extension. The extension is not visible in AppCenter. At least 25 characters are reserved for the asset name and extension, even if they are not all used.
Example \media \mybin1\mybin2 \MyVideo.cmf \MyVideo.xml

The following examples show how a path name would appear in AppCenter and in the file system.

In AppCenter:

V:\mybin1\mybin2\MyVideo

In the file system:

V:\media\mybin1\mybin2\MyVideo.cmf\MyVideo.xml
