Snapshot name maxlength is only 20 characters instead of 255 as that of image name

[Balamurugan V G]

I am running Folsom 2012.2.2 and in Horizon, while creating a snapshot the max character length allowed is only 20 characters which is way too small for general use. Refer to the HTML snippet from the 'Create Snapshot' form.

<input type="text" maxlength="20" name="name" id="id_name" data-original-title="">

This is also inconsistent with the max characters of 255 allowed for image names. Refer to the HTML snippet from the 'Create an Image' form.

<input type="text" maxlength="255" name="name" id="id_name" data-original-title="">

The 255 character limit seems reasonable.

This can be fixed in the file /usr/share/pyshared/horizon/dashboards/nova/images_and_snapshots/snapshots/forms.py by changing the maxlength from 20 to 255.

Regards,
Balu
