TC 8.52a just "dings", refuses to enter the directory and otherwise works fine.
It would be very nice if TC could handle such long paths just like MultiCommander or UnrealCommander can.

Sorry, cannot reproduce, TC 9 behaves exactly like TC 8.x here! I cannot find any error in my code either, and the stack trace doesn't give the right location.

Can you post a path with which you get this error, please?
1. Go to the deepest directory to which you can go without crash.
2. Press Ctrl+P, then copy the path from the command line
3. Press ESC to clear the command line
4. Press Ctrl+Enter on the subdir which causes the crash
5. Again copy the directory name from the command line

Then please post them here or send them via e-mail. You may change the names of the folders, but don't change the length of each folder!

Thank you for a quick response.

Thanks, I could reproduce it now. It happens because TC history now stores both the directory and the last file/folder under the cursor.

Btw, I don't plan to support paths longer than 1023 characters. They are very unhandy to use, and finding bugs with them is almost impossible.

[Cubex]

I'm sad. It's very simple. I use it.
\\?\C:\full path over 30k characters long

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365247

Note The maximum path of 32,767 characters is approximate, because the
"\\?\" prefix may be expanded to a longer string by the system at run
time, and this expansion applies to the total length.

[ghisler(Author)]

The crash should be fixed!

And it's NOT very simple. I do use \\? prefix for paths longer than 259 characters. But I can't work with fixed 32k buffers, that would eat too much stack memory. Instead, I would have to dynamically reallocate the strings for each string operation, which would be 100x more risky for buffer overflows and other errors.
