Long names and background copy

Post by *FVG »

When you want to copy a serie of files with the option "AlwaysCopyInBackground" and there is a file whose name is too long, the copying stops and the entire task remains waiting for an action.
I can't find an item for this in the preset copy options on the F5-window.
Is there a way to fix this so that the copy continues automatically?
