    From Ragnarok@docksud.com.ar to DOVE-Net.Synchronet_Discussion on Mon Aug 19 02:14:46 2019

    Hi, i upload file via ftp and zmodem and notice that the extended
    description imported from the file_id.diz was truncate, example:

    the file:
    http://test.bbs.docksud.com.ar/diz/pvm-gauc.zip

    the impoted description:
    http://test.bbs.docksud.com.ar/diz/cap1.png

    the complete description (should be): http://test.bbs.docksud.com.ar/diz/cap2.png

    any idea?

    My guess is that that DIZ doesn't conform to "the standard" (up to 10 lines of no more than 45 chars). Synchronet currently only supports extended description of up to 512 total characters (regardless of the number of lines) - that's likely the limitation you're running into. This'll be addressed at the same time as long filenames.
