Why can't I use more than 30 characters to rename my save ?

The tool is meant to convert Microsoft XBOX save files into Steam save files. Steam games are saved in one file, no matter the size of the save, while XBOX won't go over 16MB files, splitting the saves into several chunks if they get too big.
