Dropfile, ubumenu and folder filename length

Stefan Tiedje's icon

Dropfile, ubumenu and folder will only display the truncated gibberished
filenames if they exceed the old OS 9 limitations.
Will there be a forseable upgrade of those objects (question to cycling...)
What are the workarounds used by others, js, java anything (question to
the community...)

Concrete, I want to create a shell based batch processor, which would
want the unix long names...
