Allow More than 50 Characters when Renaming a File

When I create a new project in ProContractor I can enter a job name whose text string including folders and subfolders is as much as 100 characters long.

If I attempt to rename the estimate file under Tools, Manage Estimate Files, I am restriced to 50 characters in length.

This creates a problem when I am trying to keep the estimate files in an orderly structure. We have 8 estimators using the system and often projects get mis-categorized and need to be renamed.

    The ability to add special characters (#./ etc) would be very helpful especially for including dates (10.27.15) in the estimate title.
