Oh, that code is very old, I never encountered the issue so I forgot about it. Let's fix it!
@solarispika let me know if this works for you. I couldn't enable long paths, even following this, I expected at least that the file explorer worked with long paths to create a long path but it keeps complaining about the path length when I want to create it, so please confirm me if this works. The implementation now does not limit the number of bytes to assign, so it shouldn't have any problem.
Hi @SpartanJ,
I have tested your work and it works as expected. Thanks!
As far as I know, Windows explorer doesn't support long paths due to compatibility reasons. However, you can try using PowerShell, with which you can create long path files.
Great! Thanks for letting me know!
I have a problem on watching directory whose path length is long. I have enabled longPathAware setting on Windows and add app manifest to enable it too. When there is a file unde the directory is updated, my UpdateListener::handleFileAction receives empty filename.
It looks like in this function https://github.com/SpartanJ/efsw/blob/23f6038879bdb2223ddebc6459618593565345e8/src/efsw/WatcherWin32.cpp#L9
WideCharToMultiByte()
is using buffer of sizeMAX_PATH
, which is 260, smaller than the path's. In my case it is 1028. Also it does not check the return code of 0, which indicates an error, therefore the filename is empty due to length being 0 from the return code.
