Re: Too long file paths. Should I really care?



I've uploaded an archive with nested folders containing very long path names and 4 files in the deepest folder.

http://www.unsanity.org/rosyna/longname.sitx

It's in Stuffit format because nothing else would retain the names.

Try opening one of the contained files inside (either by double clicking or using an open file dialog).

Also try moving one of the files out of the folder using the finder. Try dragging one to a dock icon of an application that will normally open that file type.

Kind of disappointing that NavServices is using CFURLRefs. In my experience getting an FSRef to a file with a long path, then getting the path from the FSRef using FSRefMakePath worked fine. I could even pass that path to BSD apis and it worked (it became a mangled path). But that last time I checked that was in 10.1. I filed a bug on it (radr://2819060) a long time ago (Nov, 2001) and now I can't see the bug in the list of bugs I reported so I don't know what ever happened to that.

But here's a pretty screenshot I made:

You can double-click them to open them, but attempting to use Nav Services to open or save them will crash the app whilst trying to update the Recent Documents:
