I've been playing around with Doxygen recently, but I have run into something that could be a problem. The names of my generated html files are massive.

Normally I wouldn't care about this, but this documentation will, eventually, be transfered to a CD, which may cause problems (not sure if that is true, but I would like it fixed anyway).

I am getting file names like the following

dir_C_3A_2FDocuments_20and_20Settings_2Fst01_2FDesktop_2FMary_2FInclude_2FConsole_2F etc etc. .html.

Using the doxygen wizard I have checked the SHORT_NAMES option, but this seems to only change the name of the pages that describe actual classes. The file names that are so long are the ones that just reference the directories.

I could remove this element from my documention, but I don't really want to, as I want the user to be able to view the folder structure.

I have checked the FULL_PATH_NAMES option, which means that the path will be displayed in the documentation, but have added C:/Documents and Settings/st01/Desktop to be stripped, but this only effects the file paths displated in the actual files.

Does anyone know how to make Doxygen create much shorter html files?

Thanks

Under nix, I just run the doxygen tool from the source directory. All my filenames are only one directory deep. Does the windows system allow you to do anything like this?

I have run the doxygen exe from the source dir, and it still produces the long file names...

At this rate, I am just going to rip it out, and not include the file structure. But of a disapointment, but if there is nothing I can do about it, I can live with it.

Seems like a doxygen bug in handling the SHORT_NAMES option, since the documentation even says that this option is intended for documentation to be included on CD-Rom media. Maybe you write a doxygen bug report?
