Hi,

when I try to export a filelist with longer pathnames, it shortens it like the dosbox does. It then looks like this:

C:\temp\mp3\sarasa\zugeordnet\ELECTR~1\01

You see the "~"?  
I am using MP3Tag Pro, still in trial...  
I didn't find anything about it searching the forum. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?  
I need the full path cause I want to re-import it afterwards.

Thanks for you help!

Riesi

You are in the forum for Mp3tag v2.42 Freeware [http://www.mp3tag.de/en/](http://www.mp3tag.de/en/)  
The program you are using is a different program!
