How to deal with long file names #151

Closed maxox closed 1 year ago

maxox commented 1 year ago

Just started to use this software, and tried uploading files to my cloud, and realize the encrypted filenames are too long to upload. So I tried creating a folder named "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII" and realize in this case the encrypted folder name becomes way too long.

Any ideas to deal with such situations? or i just have to rename all my files?

Choice 1: use shorter filenames Choice 2: create a new repo with command line --format 2. This format supports longer filenames, but if you have multiple devices with cloud sync, conflicts will be harder to resolve

Sounds great. I'll stick with --format 2 for now, thank you.
