 * My web site is in Thai and I use PP Auto URL Thai to generate pretty permanent
   links. It gave warning before I create a new package with following text:
 * “Invalid file or folder names can cause issues when extracting an archive across
   different environments. Invalid file names consist of lengths over 250 characters
   and illegal characters that may not work on all operating systems such as * ?
   > < : / \ | . It is recommended to remove or filter these files before building
   the archive or else you might have issues at install time.”
 * Please recommend me what to do with these invalid names. Should I just ignore
   this warning and go ahead create new packages and once it is install, these links
   will be broken and should I just use some plugins to fix these links? (PP Auto
   Thai URL reactivation may fix most of the links but not all) Please recommend
   me fix broken links plugin if any.
 * Thank you,

 * If your moving from a Linux server to Linux server you should be ok, however 
   windows servers can have issues with paths that are too long. You can always 
   try and see what happens it will really depend on your OS…

 * I tried to create package several times but I couldn’t work. I’m not sure what’s
   going on. I think it could be because of Thai name of posts and pages. The name
   could be very long. Will long names be a problem?

 * Only long file names would most likely would be the problem. If you run the scan
   it will show warnings on the file names themselves…
