Error message: "the file names would be too long for the destination folder.

I move the files from internal hard drive to external hard drive using cut and paste.  I get a message "the file name would be too long for the destination folder.  You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path. "I then gives me choices to skip or cancel.  What happens to files that are ignored?  Are they deleted?  I don't want to lose all the data, but there are more 2 000 files with this problem, so passing by and rename each one really isn't a viable solution.  I don't really understand how the file names were originally created/saved about a problem that is only now that I want to move them.  The disc source and destination are NTFS.  Is there a solution for this?  It is imperative that no data is lost.  Thanks for any help you can offer.

N ° to check that what I say is correct, create a new folder
for the purposes of the trial and to make a copy of some files. To ensure that
one of them has a long name (rename if necessary), and then try to copy
These files on the external drive. When you get the message, choose
'jump' and see what happens.

  • Download of music files - Error Message "invalid file name".

    I am downloading of music files on my site of various files on my PC.  I have some files in Rhapsody, some Amazon.mp3, some in my music, etc.

    Some songs go through fine, others do not, even though I can't play them.  When they do not go through, I get this error message: file name is not valid.

    I tried to rename the files so they are shorter (something to be less than 240 characters?), and I tried to copy on the desktop (did not work).  I tried to change the permission settings, but I don't think that's more the problem.

    Any ideas why or how do to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello JBoo91,

    This looks like a problem with your web site hosting company.
    Did you check with them to see if they allow that post music file size?
    They can put a limit on the size of the file that you can download.

    I run 7 Captivate on Windows 8. Recently Win8 auto update features during the night. Since then, whenever I try to publish my files of course captivate, can I get an error saying it cannot publish because the file name or extension is too long. The update adds a new layer of files to sift through, so I thought that was the problem. I changed the default publish the location of my office, but I still get the same error. See attached screenshot.

    This means that the folder you want to create is blocked because of file permissions. The drive or folder you are trying to create the destination folder is set to read-only, and your username does not have write permissions.

  • Error compiling FPGA-61332: the length of a line to < "file.vhdl" > is too long for xilinx 10.1. Length: < length > Max Length: 4150

    Hello

    When compiling a fairly basic FPGA VI, I get the following error:

    61332 error occurred in niFpgaCompileWorker_ProcessStatusPipe.vi:1<><>

    Possible reasons:

    LabVIEW FPGA: An unexpected error occurred with the build tools. You try to compile the FPGA VI again could solve the problem.

    The length of a line in "NiFpgaAG_0000002e_WhileLoop.vhd" is too long for xilinx 10.1. Length: 32845 Max length: 4150

    Departure time: 17:22:06
    End time: 17:22:12
    Total time: 00:00:06

    Apparently, the vhdl code generator OR forgot to add some CR + LF in the intermediate files. How to work around this bug?

    Kind regards

    Lukas

    Hi Lukas.

    When LabVIEW compiles a VI, the VI is converted into virtual hard disk to be compiled into a file bit by Xilinx.  As you have already understood, this error indicates that a line of code vhd had a length of 32 845 characters, which exceeds the maximum length of 4150 characters for the Xilinx 10.1.

    Although 32 845 characters is very long, it is possible that this is due to the codification of LabVIEW rather than a bug. Some common causes of this problem include large enums, a matrix, or clusters in the code.  Please check in your code.  If you have no luck, please attach a screenshot of the code.  I hope this helps!

    Kind regards

The system cannot find the specified file. ") I am currently running Windows Vista 32-bit. Did anyone facing this problem? I can't believe that it has not been yet resolved. ??

    HP dx2250 microtower, running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition, recently attacked by Vista Antispyware 2010. Norton 360 V3 dealt with rather late the virus, but the fall of the remains.

    I am unable to open any .exe file (program) on the desktop, start menu, or through the browser. I can access the programs in opening a data file, for example, double-click a .doc file opens MS Word, etc.

    The error message "this file has no program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the control panel to define the Associations. "

    I tried an automated solution that is available via the forums (exefix_cu.reg) and also a manual suggestion to change the registry, also available through the forum.

    I also splashed by and purchased Regcure, who seems to have done no difference despite who claims to have removed 1500 odd errors. So I'll be request the refund on that one.

    I scanned the forums and found a large number of similar problems, but not one that is as complete as this.
