Name too long

Error message

Name too long

What it means

HTTP 400 raised by POST /api/gallery/{image_id}/rename when the stripped name exceeds 500 characters. The limit guards the prompt column that stores the user-facing label for uploaded photos; anything longer is rejected before any DB access.

Solutions

1. Set maxlength=500 (and trim) on the rename input in the UI.
2. Truncate or reject client-side before the request when length > 500.
3. If longer names are a real requirement, raise the column size and the check together.

Example fix

// before
const name = anyLengthString;
// after
const name = input.value.trim().slice(0, 500);
if (!name) return; // avoid 543 instead
await post(`/api/gallery/${id}/rename`, {name});

const name = input.value.trim();
if (name.length > 500) return showError('Name too long');
await post(`/api/gallery/${id}/rename`, {name});

const isValidName = (v) => { const s = (v ?? '').trim(); return s.length > 0 && s.length <= 500; };

When it happens

Trigger: Sending a JSON body whose "name" string is longer than 500 characters after trimming.

Common situations: Pasting long text or a whole file path into the rename field; scripts bulk-renaming with generated strings; UI without a maxlength on the input.
