%ln truncates at 11 characters
Authored by: jecwobble on Jun 16, '03 11:15:29AM
I played around with this this weekend. I found that it was not displaying the last characters of some of the last names (including mine) when using the %ln format parameter. Seems to be limited to 11 characters. Looks as if that's true for %fn, too.

That is true, but if you pass it the -l flag (loose formatting) then no values will be truncated. In the future, I'd like to see the tool use its own preferences (or defaults) to pick the column width for each token instead of just a bunch of hardcoded values. Next release, maybe.
