Title:
  rename files for windows compatibility removes file extension, breaks
  windows compatibility.

Status in “brasero” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: brasero

  When burning data files with long names, Brasero often helpfully asks
  to rename them for Microsoft Windows compatibility.  I noticed
  yesterday however that this sometimes means truncating the file names,
  such that the file extension is removed, and Windows therefore doesn't
  know what the file type is.

  For example, burning an mp3 music file as data.  If the file is called
  "favourite_artist_debut_album_year_of_release_long_song_name.mp3",
  brasero will truncate it
  to"favourite_artist_debut_album_year_of_release_long_song_name.m".

  It would be more useful if brasero could identify what the file
  extension is (recognise the .mp3 as the extension for example) and
  truncate everything before the last dot.

  Steps to reproduce:

  Create an mp3 file with a ridiculously long name.  Burn as data.  Tell
  brasero to truncate for windows compatibility.  Put in windows
  computer (tested with vista).  Witness vista not know what's going on.

  Let me know if you need more info!
