help to handle long paths

Post by *Izibia »

1) add a function that will return the relative and absolute lengths of the longest pathname in selected directories/files

2) help to determine and handle the most problematic (= the longest) paths
but how? One option would be:

After "Find Files" and "Feed to listbox", I would like to be able to sort files also by path length:
make the list of columns (Name, Ext, Size, Date, Attr, PathLength) customizable: allow to add/remove columns by a right-click on a column.

You can use Filex content plugin to add the columns with length of full path.
Than you can sort on this column or search for desired path length.

Create a column set with this column (and maybe some others), then you could switch between different column sets.

Filename ChrCount does exactly the same and more comfortably IMO.
TC plugins: PCREsearch and RegXtract
