[8.52a] Errors with opening long paths

MVV · Post by *MVV » 2015-10-24, 11:56 UTC

When I try using cd "long path" command from TC command line, TC only opens it partially (up to 259 characters) instead of jumping to desired file.

Pasting long path to editable path bar also doesn't work.

Moreover, when I run TOTALCMD.exe /o /L="long path", TC simply crashes.

Tested path length is 515 characters.

Sorry, this isn't supported, and there are currently no plans to support it. I will check why it crashes, though.

Ok, thank you for commenting it.
I don't use such long paths actually and noticed it by accident.

It was a bug in Delphi's system.pas unit (ParamCount/ParamStr). I have fixed it. By fixing it, such long names will work also in TC 32-bit. They already worked in TC 64-bit.

Nice that you've fixed it!

Still doesn't work in TC 9.0b1 x86.
To be exact, cd X:\long\long\long\path\to\dir works in both TC 8.52a and 9.0b1, but cd X:\long\long\long\path\to\dir\file.txt (i.e. jumping to file and not to dir) doesn't work in both.

I only fixed the former. Can you confirm that?

Jumping to dir with long path works in both 9.0b1 and 8.52a.
Jumping to file with long path doesn't work in both.
