Re: [Avid-L2] Bug report - MC v6.0.0 - export locators fails with filename longer than 27 characters

Interestingly I was doing some QuickTime exports from MC5 this week and could not use file names longer than 27 chars. Seemed to be permitted in 5.5, however. Was the same regardless of how the General setting was set.
