Yes, it is possible.

Open the Files menu or right-click on the files table, Select menu, Select by Name Length.

The are many different ways for reducing the filename length, it all depends on which parts you want to drop.

For example, you could simply truncate the end of the filename via the Delete rule from position 101 and until the end.
