Number of folder sub-levels and characters
a) how many levels of folders are permissible in Mac OS X
b) how many characters are allowed for file or folder names?
I have recently switched over to the Mac system from Windows where the I believe the maximum number of "folders within folders" (levels in the hierarchy) is 8, and the maximum number of characters for naming files or folders is 64. My main concern is that backups in Windows are truncated beyond these limits.
I've searched for answers in Apple tutorials, forums, books (etc.), and even AppleCare was not able to answer these questions.
Thank you very much!
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
