More options for LongNameCopy Warning (wincmd.ini)

Post by *therealmarv »

Currently we have this undocumented options for LongNameCopy warning (filenames which are longer than 259 characters):
There is currently only an undocumented option to control the behaviour of the long name warning dialog:
[wincmd.ini]
LongNameCopy=0

Warn if name longer 259 characters:
0=always,
1=never,
2=if source isn't longer than 259 characters
Is it possible to extend this options?
I just want to be warned if I copy files to a FAT32/FAT drive and I do not want to be warned if I copy files to a NTFS drive (or other drive-filesystems which can handle this long filenames).

E.G.:
3=warn me if destinations does not support 259 characters
Thanks,
Marvin
