RE: [Openexr-devel] Long Names for Channels and Attributes

[Chris Cox]

255 is certainly better than the current 32 character limit.

But is that UTF-8, UTF-16, or ASCII only?

Subject: [Openexr-devel] Long Names for Channels and Attributes
 
I am looking into allowing longer names for OpenEXR channels and header
attributes.  The current maximum is 31 characters plus a terminating
null byte.

Rather than allowing names of unlimited length, I intend to increase
the maximum length, because it is easier to do as well as more efficient.
I think 255 characters plus a null byte should be plenty; even a channel
name like

 
background_velociraptor.small_background.skin_belly.light_112_fill_from_upper_left.diffuse_pass.version_3.R

is only 107 characters long.
Objections?

Florian
