Path/file length exeeding 250 char

[ednieuw]

I regulary make incremental backups of folder and shares. In these folders sometimes the folder/filename gets longer than 250 chars. TC gives me a warning that some program can not work with path/filename length >250 chars.
That is a nice warning but anoying with backups that takes hours to finish. The warning is given at the moment the path/filename is found.

Can you make a switch in Configuration -> misc to turn off this warning?

"Configuration -> Change Settings Files Directly"
in wincmd.ini section [Configuration] add a line with:

Code: Select all

LongNameCopy=1

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
