Description

The app initially save(d) notes with an abbreviated text. It tries to rename the notes to the whole text failing because of filename length constraints. This spams my error log:

Steps to reproduce

  1. Type chinese text into a not
  2. Error log is full of renaming attempts
Expected behaviour

Truncate the filename to a sensible value.

Actual behaviour

Rename is attempted to the full text over and over and over

Research direction

Start in apps/notes/lib/Service/Note.php at line 166, where setTitleCategory moves the note, and trace the call from NotesApiController.php around line 180. Reproduce with a long Chinese title and inspect the filename-length failure. Done means long note titles use a sensible truncated filename and repeated updates no longer spam the error log.
