Icon Names
Mac OS X is very flexible when it comes to names for files, folders, and disks.
- A file or folder name can be up to 255 characters long. A disk name can be up to 27 characters long.
- A name can contain any character except a colon (:).
This makes it easy to give your files, folders, and disks names that make sense to you.
