I did a Google search but couldn't get "right keywords" to find
appropriate answer. If not a quick answer, maybe just a URL/pointer. I run
into this occasionally and curious why it happens / how to correct:
Background - setup:
While online I save a webpage to my Pc as htm, so it saves 2 files
"XYZ.htm" file and a " XYZ_files ".
Later on, (like today) I notice the god-awfully long filename and want to
change it.
Here's the filename:
" HP Pavilion dv2000-dv6000-dv9000 and Compaq Presario v3000-v6000 Series
Notebook PCs - HP Limited Warranty Service Enhancement.htm"
and if I open it first - it looks fine - page is displayed just as it was
when I was at HP website - all margins/page layout etc.
Here's my question:
If I try to rename I get a windows " You might corrupt file.... we
recommend that you open the file and do a " Save As". If I do that - the
layout gets messed up - fonts change etc. SO I figure , OK - there's
SOMETHING it that file when I saved it originally that sees a difference
so let me just go ahead and rename both files. So I rename
HP Pavilion dv2000-dv6000-dv9000 and Compaq Presario v3000-v6000 Series
Notebook PCs - HP Limited Warranty Service Enhancement.htm
to
HP Pavilion dv6000 Series Warranty Enhancement.htm
and rename
HP Pavilion dv2000-dv6000-dv9000 and Compaq Presario v3000-v6000 Series
Notebook PCs - HP Limited Warranty Service Enhancement_files
to
HP Pavilion dv6000 Series Warranty Enhancement_files.
I open THAT and - messed up - just as the other is.
I rename back to original and - looks good again.
1. Why does it get messed up ? , and
2. other than revisiting a webpage and saving again with new name, how to
avoid distorting the layout/fonts etc.
3. Or cannot avoid it because "something" is imbedded into file ?
Thanks.
PS: reason for wanting to rename has to do with "browsing that folder".
I find that later on, when I try to download a file and do a " Save As"
and point to that folder, in the folder browser popup window where I'm
choosing to save the file, the spacing between file columns is " as wide
as the widest filename", so if I have a LOT of files in there, AND if the
spacing between each column is a wide as the 'FILENAME ABOVE', then I
might have to scroll a long time to the right to find something that I
want to overwrite or to see if a name is in use. ( That's how I just
noticed that "something in the " My Documents" folder has a very long
filename". )
