Re: [Tb] File-Attribute in Tinderbox-Note...

That is an interesting bug! The reason why is that I also use another
Carbon based application called Boswell which has a 31 character limit
on entry names, like the old OS 9 file name limit. When batch
importing, if a file has a name longer than 31 characters, it gets a
bunch of garbage in it precisely like that. So I am guessing it has
something to do with the programming toolkit both use. Definitely
should be reported as a bug to Eastgate.
