I tried enabling this by updating the manifest, but it appears there are a number of issues:

1) You can't enter a long path in the Explorer UI for Open File, as Explorer does not support long paths. 2) You can't drag and drop: it gives a COM error. 3) The HandBrake core does not appear to work with long paths. You get an error: "scan: unrecognized file type"

Once some more pieces fall into place, at the minimum HandBrake support, then I can turn it on.

I hope you try to fix it Otherwise

There is manipulation you can do

Is getting the First letter from each word in title of the file then And make it fit the max length support

And in the savings of the file save it with the optimum fit title

I hope my approach helps you

Plus The vidcoder is readings the file And do the hard work But when it try to save it, they don't because it try to save it with the full title.

It is possible to create short paths for files, which could possibly be run during "intake" of file paths. In what situations are you going over the max path limit? The watcher? do you have really deep folder directories, or just really long file names?

I have a deep folder directories, And i can track it because there are multiple missing files that not converted because the path is too long
