TashTalk USB

Netatalk (and I presume Apple's AFP server) all mangle the longer AFP 3.x Unicode names down to 31 characters for AFP 2.x clients using some digits of the CNID value at the end to keep them unique and somewhat linked to the parent file.

I did see that, but I mistakenly thought that since Finder appeared to display longer ones OK that things were a little flexible. It turns out they very much are not haha. I play a bit loose with file IDs currently in that they’re ephemeral on each start. I think I was likely going to bolt some hash on the end, or just finally commit to making them persistent.

And release 0.4.5 is building now with the change: https://github.com/FeralFirmware/TailTalk/releases/tag/0.4.5

So far it's behaving perfectly now. Been copying files back and forth, launching applications from the server, everything working great. The truncation on long filenames currently appears is in the middle of the filename rather than near the end, but this is a minor quibble. Wonderful work, and thank you so much! Once I get another crossover cable, I'll be trying it out with cheesestraws' AirTalk modules!

I was able to build and run TailTalk on Windows 11 using the pull request #11 on github. I had to manually install the CP210x_VCP_Windows driver to get it to recognize the usb device, and install npcap. But it seems to work. Even the gui works.
