  • src/sbbs3/viewfile.cpp

    From Rob Swindell (on Debian Linux)@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/master on Tue Sep 29 17:07:32 2026
    https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/commit/80601132aba5084dab6f28b3
    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/viewfile.cpp
    Log Message:
    File view prompt: show the full filename; log files missing on disk

    The view/extended-info prompt squeezed the name into an 8.3 buffer, so
    every SyncTERM-1.x-setup.exe was labeled "SyncTERM.exe". Show the name
    in full; a long one wraps the prompt rather than becoming ambiguous.

    Viewing a file whose record exists but whose file doesn't still tells the
    user only "File not found", but now also logs a warning naming the file,
    its directory, and the path, since it's the sysop's to fix.
