When you try to save a filename with a path that's too long, the following error message shows: Shortening the file name gets rid of this error, so I assume that's what calling the issue. It would be nice to show a message telling the user to shorten the filename + path.

Too long file names should now be properly recognized and the requisite '\?\' prefix appended. If there are additional issues in the future, reopen this issue.
