Cut Long Names is a small-sized and portable software application that can locate long files names in specified directories or entire drives, in order to rename them.
Since there is no installation procedure involved, you can drop the executable file anywhere on the hard disk and just click it to run.
It is also possible to save Cut Long Names to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any machine effortlessly and without prior installers.
What's important is that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and files are not left behind on the HDD after removing the utility.
The interface is clearly outdated but not that complicated to work with. You can get started by specifying a target drive or directory, and filter results by writing extensions. Cut Long Names is able to skip system files and rename empty directories.
You can also change the default maximum character name (150) to a lower or higher value. Scanning starts with the click of a button. The results list displays the full path of each identified file. By selecting one, multiple or all items, it is possible to rename them.
Cut Long Names runs on a very low amount of CPU and RAM, so it uses low system resources. We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation, since the app did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Scan jobs are performed rapidly. Too bad it has not been updated for a while. Otherwise, Cut Long Names delivers a simple solution to detecting and renaming large file names.
