Traditionally File Libraries and Message Groups need *shorter* names than File
directories and Sub-boards to look nice in all the Synchronet prompts, etc.

Right now, both file lib and msg group long names are limited to 40 chars, but
libs/group short names are limited to 15 chars while dir/sub short names are
limited to 25 chars.

Are you asking for file *library* long names to be increased, but not
directory long names? I'd be inclined to increase either the long names for
dirs/subs or *both* the libs/groups and the dirs/subs. But increasing the max
length of the long name for the higher level (usually more general) container
to a length longer than the maximum for the sub-categories doesn't make a lot
of sense to me.

SCFG->File Areas (similarly, SCFG->Message Areas) currently displays the
entire lib/group long names, followed by the count of dirs or subs within.
Extending the max length by more than 10 chars would mean we couldn't display
the full long names in SCFG any more (unless maybe when running in wider than
80 col modes).
