I've noticed that when using DngConverter 8.3 in Windows-7-64 with .cr2 RAW files with long filenames, the end of the .dng filename can be truncated
Here are some examples (cr2 before and dng after)
ok:

Truncated:

There seems to be a limit of 59 characters. I used Bridge to embed Metadata in the filename.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this "as expected"? Or could this be a possible bug?
Could this be because the total filename (with sub-directory name) was excessive? Here's the sub-directory:
S:\_WorkInProgress\_RAW\2014
A workaround is to use shorter filenames, but a limit of 59 chars seems rather restrictive.
