Dear list,

	i get into trouble with the indexing machine of the dam. While i was
	extending the demo-dam extension to get a personalized "Create
Category
	for Folder" Extension, the create subcategories for subfolders and
	so on, i have realised that the file_path (only the directory is
stored in 
	the database) were cutted after 100 character.

	After extending the database to text from tiny_text, the problem
doesn't 
	disappear. Now i have updated the tca.php from the dam extension to
let
	the field be 999 characters long.

	The problem seems to be solved now but i habe the feeling that this
is not
	the best way to go.

	The following updates should be considered:
	file_name should at least 128 characters long (thats the default for
MS systems i think)
	file_path should be longer than 100 .. 999 may be a choice, but
misses any foundation
	
	The other fields are not showing any limitations till now, may there
should some 
	updates also.

	Thanks for the work you have done,
	please contact me if the extension could be of interest for you

With kind regards
Axel
