I'm aware of #1186080: A note about Drupal 7.x bugs so understand if this isn't addressed any time soon. Just putting this out there in the hopes that it will happen eventually. :)

I have long field names because I include the node type in them. When combining multiple fields to form a filename, it gets huge and I'm frequently running out of space. I found #614992: Need more space for specification of longer file paths for the _paths_ in D6 but nothing for the filenames. Having this "field" be much longer would be wonderful to accommodate long tokens.

Thanks,

Michelle

One way I've gotten around this in the past (in D6) was by using http://drupal.org/project/token_custom to create a custom token that had all the tokens I wanted in it, and then using that in the filename. Not sure if all the necessary pieces are in place to accomplish this in D7 yet, but there is a D7 dev version of Custom Tokens that's supposedly in a working state: http://drupal.org/node/991754
