Long filenames break upload

[meilinger]

When uploading a file to process, long filenames (specifically those > 64 characters long) yield value too long for type character varying(64)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Limits excluding ReiserFS/Reiser4 general consensus is 255 chars

Are you using a version newer than commit 930c68a? There were changes to allow longer upload paths, but were previously set at 100 chars not 64.

Hi @meilinger, would you check that this is resolved in this branch: https://github.com/jivanamara/django-osgeo-importer/tree/long_filenames_break_upload

@JivanAmara Looks like that fixes the filename length issue, thanks! Running into another issue related to introspection of the .prj file w/in a zipped Shapefile throwing a Could not open the datasource GDAL exception. I might submit another issue for this later, but it very well could be something that I'm doing wrong...

[JivanAmara]

Sounds good, I'll send that fix to be merged.

Hi @JivanAmara , I seem to be getting a similar error too on 0.1.1a1. The error happens after selecting the file, the difference is it happens when saving upload_layer https://github.com/GeoNode/django-osgeo-importer/blob/master/osgeo_importer/utils.py#L472
