Find long file names

Post by *TWiStErRob »

When copying sometimes Total Commander gives a warning that long files can cause problems with the buttons "Keep all". I usually just press that.

I'm wondering if it's possible to find these files later via the "Find Files" dialog?
I can see a workaround to copy everything and wait for the dialog, but it's really time consuming.

Please don't suggest external tools, I want a TC-only solution (plugins are ok though if there's no built-in functionality).

Hello,TWiStErRob.

Maybe the plugin FileName_ChrCount would be helpful.
It has been mentioned in these 2 threads (and very likely some others as well):
+ help to handle long paths
+ Scan to find length of path/file names?

Hm, FileName_ChrCount has got its own thread in the forum even: Filename ChrCount Content Plugin for Total Commander

Regards,
