Hi Patrick,

No, my installation at least WAS brand new. Maybe I already messed too 
much around with it.

I also tried your extension already with no success. Otherwise I really 
like it. Its so simple, I am really able to read it and see what it does!

What I also tried is putting:
$GLOBALS['TCA']['pages']['columns']['alias']['config']['size'] = 32;
in typo3conf/ext_tables.php

But the only effect is that the input field is now double the size but 
still not allowing more characters.

Where can I find that BE form you were talking about?

cheers
