LongPathName on Win10 et 11 - PRO

Post by cantoro.g@gmail.com »

Hello,

I have a problem with Explorer++ (1.4.0) and also 1.3.5

With Explorer++ I cannot create cascading folders such that the overall pathname is longer than 250 characters.
yet I have already configured the parameters to allow windows to do this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem --- LongPathsEnable=1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Policies --- LongPathsEnable=1
gpedit.msc abilitation long path Win32

If I, on the same computers, do folder creation in DOS, I can easily create very long paths.
I point out that, I performed the tests on :
Win 10 PRO 21H2
Win 10 PRO 22H2
Win 11 PRO 22H2


Thanks a lot for your help

The application is marked as long path aware (as of 6 months ago), but unfortunately, that doesn't have much of an effect. The shell interfaces that the application uses all fail when the path is greater than 260 characters. Microsoft would need to update those interfaces. Until that happens, there's not too much I can do.
