I ran ez under Windows. This OS cannot create path to file more 256 chars. ( MAX_PATH = 260). When i upload image, path to it is - http://some-site/var/plain_site/storage/images/produkciya/kombinirovannye_materialy_na_osnove_plenok_i_alyuminievoj_fol_gi_polifleny/kombinirovannye_materialy_na_osnove_plenok_i_alyuminievoj_fol_gi_polifleny/275-3-rus-RU/kombinirovannye_materialy_na_osnove_plenok_i_alyuminievoj_fol_gi_polifleny_medium.jpg and OS cannot create image, becouse the path is very long! Can i setup ez to create small path to image ? For example by page id...
http://some-site/var/plain_site/storage/images/237/275-3-rus-RU/ where 237 is object id.

I think that very long file name is a bug ....

The length of file path or directory/file name is problem not only under Windows. I have similar problem under Unix. So please ezPublish crew develop solution to this. Maybe using hash instead of full path to image?
