Syncronize with too long file names interrupt the process

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Syncronize with too long file names interrupt the process

Post by *Grego »

In synchronize folders, when file a name is too long the copy process is interrupted, waiting for confirmation that OK to continue to copy the file without continuing to copy the other files in background. This makes an unsupervised synchronization operation to halt until the issue is noticed and confirmed. In a normal copy operation TC continues to copy the other files in background when this happens, so in this case works OK.

Not confirmed [TC 9.50b9 x86].

LongNameCopy=1 (in WINCMD.INI) should avoid the warning dialog, also in cm_FileSync (tested OK here).
Have you set that option?

Code: Select all

LongNameCopy=0 During file operations, warn if target name is longer than 259 characters:
               0=always
               1=never
               2=if source name isn't longer than 259 characters
               3=disallow long names
Who the hell is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk?

Works. Thanks!
Maybe good to put as an option in configuration under Operations or Misc. Like "Always Accept/Allow Long File Names". For me a big value of TC is the fact that it preserves dates and handles long file names.
P.S. Is there a list of all ini settings somewhere, structured like in your advice?

Yes, there is, and it's closer than you might think - only one button press (F1) and one click away ;). TC help, section 4.b) wincmd.ini.
