confirmation "The target name length..."

Post by *grandemonio »

Is it possible to disable the confirmation message that appears when copying files with very long names?

I mean the message that says: "The target name length (nnn) is more than 259 characters! ....

It happens to me many times that I put a large number of files and folders to copy, I let it do it... and when I return I find that the copy stopped halfway at the beginning because of this message!

And if there is no way... I hope you can add a parameter in the future to configure if you want this confirmation to appear...

Thank you very much!

0=always
1=never
2=if source name isn't longer than 259 characters
3=disallow long names
So, in the [Configuration] section of your wincmd.ini put: LongNameCopy=1
