Warn if path is to long #21

Open Gnindit opened 4 years ago

Gnindit commented 4 years ago

Since it does some scanning for files before it copies it maybe it could stop and warn that path will be to long and list which ones. For me even with long path enabled in Windows 10, Fusion still does not handle it.

Have you run the latest master? It currently logs to a file and then tells you if you have issues that need to be addressed. Does this accomplish what you're going for? I'm not 100% sure what a warning would look like. We only know the file is too long right before we're about to write it out.

I did get reports that exporting to an NTFS external drive with long paths enabled does work.

Super good with the output file.

I thought that script could scan the path lengths in fusion at the start to get a quick check if there are path lengths longer than 256 and show information that it could lead to trouble. But maybe there is no quick way of seeing path length in fusion, it like has to open the file to see that? Maybe the files has to be opened to see the path length?

I would be happy if it just skipped those and kept going instead of failing entirely.

Then the export would be incomplete. I would prefer that I could get a heads up before spending hours on export instead of going into the design and renaming them first and then do the export.

it's incomplete either way. at least this way most of it's done and I can fix/manually do the last bits.
