I'm currently trying to add support for long paths to my plugins - or at the very least avoid them crashing with an exception. Since TC doesn't pass a path with a long path prefix (\\?\) to the plugin it's up to the plugin to do so. I was wondering if the plugin is allowed to return such a path to TC or it must not do so. The WFX plugin guide states:
Well, technically when prepending LocalName with the long path prefix, I'm not changing the path. But I'm not sure whether or not I should return this prefixed path to TC.LocalName
[...] The plugin may change the NAME/EXTENSION of the file (e.g. when file conversion is done), but not the path!
