The problem has never occurred before in earlier versions of Kunena. I don't like the way that Kunena now truncates attachment filenames two the last three characters plus the filename extension. :(

In my opinion, this change is a design defect — no question about it.

Would it be easy to edit the code?

xillibit, thank you.

Can you give me a clue where can I find this part of the code that handles the change of the filename?

I have a problem that utf8 characters are not shown in the link so i get no links at all if all the filename is in Hebrew.

Thanks,
Omri

So I decided to disable the shorten file names and it's also solved the problem I had with the missing characters in Hebrew.

in libraries/kunena/attachment/attachment.php

line 466:

replace: $output=substr($filename,0,$front).$filler.substr($filename,$len-$back,$back);
with: $output=$filename;

This issue has not been included in GitHub as far as I can tell. If it has been listed as something to be looked at, what is the GitHub reference, please.
