    Default Contribute 3 corrupts filenames

    After several years mixing and matching DreamWeaver and FrontPage, I am keen to
    get all my authors off of FrontPage (which we get FOC) - I can't afford to give
    them all DreamWeaver, so Contribute 3 looks a good solution, except ...

    While DreamWeaver quite happily creates and manages long filenames, Contribute
    3 rejects them all - even though they contain legitimate characters (e.g.
    'space', underscore, hyphen, etc.). I have even seen it remove such characters
    from existing documents when published!! :Q

    We have a Knowledge database which uses our Intranet content which means
    filenames cannot change, so how can I get Contribute 3 to create/accept long
    filenames? Or will my otherwise successful evaluation fail, and Macromedia
    lose out on the deal?

    Hi, This issue is not common case when publishing, especially if there are no
    specialy characters. What happens if you turn off rollbacks? Also, see this

    Can you physically see the changed file name from Contribute? I am having a terrible time with some images that just will not diplay in edit mode.
