How to extract a file path is too long

• Cannot delete the file - paths are too long

  Trying to delete a folder.  He complains that the folder contains items whose names are too long for the Recycle Bin.

  The problem I think is that this folder is a backup copy of an old folder AppData, in which it seems to be an almost infinite folder "Application Data" series - I am sure that these are in fact the links as opposed to records, but there is a huge tree full of them.  At the end of some branches, there are some 'real' files, but then several sub-branches of Application Data files.

  So I guess that when I try to remove the top-level folder, the full path to the way in which the files down is just too long.

  When I shift-DELETE, nothing happens, and I tried to remove it from the command prompt, nothing helps.

  Don't know what to do next.  I want to just get rid of the folder tree.

  OK, well, irritating as it is that there is no apparent way to force Vista to do, I just crossed the entire folder structure and renamed each 'Application Data' folder to 'a', to shorten the overall paths, and this then allowed me to remove the top-level folder.

• Errro message "cannot copy file: path is too deep.

  Inequality on the what, why, how do to the error message "cannot copy file: path is too deep." I would like to know the causes and possible prevention and or all of the information available on this issue. The problem occurs when copying large files and sometimes small files on external hard drive to the top.

  Even though the file itself may become a 9-character file name extension, it could be buried inside several files.  Thus, when you step on your external USB drive and it appears as, say, M: drive, the number of characters in the complete path to the file starting with "M:\. "and including all of the directories in the path to the file as well as the number of characters in the name of the file itself must not exceed 255 or Windows refuses to handle.

  Robocopy is a command line program.  You must type in the command from a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd").  It works by accessing the file using a set of routines to copy the different library that does not have the limit of 255 characters.  A documentation file must accompany Robocopy explaining how to use it.

  Another method that might work for you is to take the folder that your .wmv file is in (or maybe both files above) and to temporarily move to the root directory of your external hard drive.  This shorten the path to the file and allow a normal copy of work.

• 1320 error: specified path is too long: C:\ProgramData\Documents\MyCADPro files

  When I try to install CAD Pro6 on my ASUS laptop, I get an error 1320: specified path is too long.  I tried to change the path so it is not that long, but it does not yet install.  Jonathan Z had asked Howbat how go through computer > organize > folder options > view and check "show the hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and then re-install the software, but it still gives me the error 1320.  I contacted the technical support CAD Pro and they tell me that it is a Windows Installer issue.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you

• 'File name' error too long when you copy a folder to a DVD disc

  When I copy a folder that contains a large number of files on an external hard drive, I have no problem, but if I try to copy the same folder to a DVD disc, I get a message indicating that a file name is too long.  My first question is why do I get the message for DVD and not the external hard drive?  My second question is: How can I generate a list of files in my folder that have too long names? My second question is already other post on the forum, but there was no answer.  Is it because it is not possible to generate such a list?

  Thank you

  It depends on what is called the 'file system '. File systems are how files are stored on a disk. Many of them have limits on how long the total file path can be. DVD and external hard drives use different file systems.

  If you want a list of all the files in a folder, open a command prompt. Type this in:

  CD "C:\path\to\folder".

  and press ENTER. Replace path\to\folder with the path of the file in your file that you want to check to make sure this filepath is in quotes!

  Now type:

  dir /s > 'output.txt '.

  and press ENTER. This will tell the guest to make a list of all the files in this folder and in each subfolder, and then store in a text file. This will allow you to view the list and I hope to find the long file names. Once you have found the long file name, go to that file, and then change the name.

  Here is an example of the above commands. Let's say I have a folder named "foo" in the My Documents folder. I first type:

  CD "C:\Users\Entegy\Documents\foo".

  and press ENTER. Now, I want the list of files to be placed on my desk. Then I type:

  dir /s > "C:\Users\Entegy\Desktop\filelist.txt."

  And voila, I have a list of all the content of foo on my desktop files. Just make sure that your path ends with .txt and you'll be fine. And don't forget to put quotes around filepaths!

• How to see the file path of each image on the screen of content?

  Hi, I'm looking at several, slightly different copies of an image on my hard drive, trying to figure out exactly which version I use. I want to know the path of file name for each picture, to help me make my choice.

  Can someone tell me how I can display the path filename of each image appearing in the content screen, another that in choosing "reveal in Bridge"? I would really like to see all the channels next to each image, so that I can compare.

  (I will certainly have to be better organized with my file name, metadata, release management, etc.).

  Thanks for any help,

  Cheers, Steven

  the path should appear at the bottom of the screen when you have a picture of a selected collection

• Try to restore a lost Thunderbird profile, but can't "move profile" because the file names are too long

  I'm having a problem with Thunderbird that is addressed in several comments here and on "mozillaZine", but trying to follow the instructions for fixing it, I ran into a new problem that I see not addressed. The initial problem is that described in this thread, where my files and everything just disappeared, and I am invited to start to create a new profile:

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1040003

  Following the links in this thread, I get to this - and since my address book has also apparently gone, I click the internal link to the section titled 'Lost profile':

  http://KB.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_profile_that_suddenly_disappeared

  Step 1 then sent me here:

  http://KB.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

  Step 2 on this page says: "Copy the profile folder where you want to store." When I try to do it, however (using Windows Explorer on Windows 7), he gets to halfway through the copy and then hang up because it clashes with a file name that is too long to copy. And according to the prompt that tells me this, there are many more yet to come long file names.

  Ignore this error and I just ignore these files? That means the copy of profile won't be complete, which I think would be dangerous or would just cause other errors. Or is there some simpler way quite do what I originally planned to do, which is to recover the profile which has mysteriously disappeared?

  Again, I'm under Thunderbird on Windows 7 and it was used for years without ever encountering this extremely irritating glitch. I'll be grateful for any help.

  Here are three different approaches, I suggest:

  1 see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-multiple-profiles and see if you can switch to that you want to use the Profile Manager.

  2. While TB is NOT running, use a prompt with the following commands: Note: place the entire path in quotation marks.

  • CD "the full path of your current profile directory name '.
  • xcopy "the full path of your"good"profile name" / s/h
  • now check with the Windows Explorer, and switch to him as above

  3 change "profiles.ini" (using a text editor such as Notepad) to point to the profile 'good '. "profiles.ini" looks like this:

  [General]
  StartWithLastProfile = 1

  [Profile0]
  Name = default
  IsRelative = 1 * change this to 0 *.
  Path = yt20rg5n.default * change this to the path and the name of your profile of "good."
  Default = 1

  Let me know how it turns out.

• 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

• How do I keep file path to save by default save path during the next run of my vi?

  Hi all

  Forgive me if I use the malapropisms of terms here, but what I would like to make is the following:

  In my vi, I need that the user enters a name and path for saving a file. I would like to sort it by default in the path of the file save box the next time this program is executed (the computer may be turned off between runs).

  I did some research online but no available-it can be that I am not describing the problem correctly. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could go to do this? It seems that it should be something very simple, but it has upset me.

  See you soon,.

  Alex

  For example, you can save it in the system temporary folder (there is a way for this constant!) or next to the executable. If it must be different for each user, place the ini file in the default folder or the default data folder.

  If you have LabVIEW 2009, you have a few more predefined places: have a look at get_system_directory. Simply put the ini compared to one of these locations, and he'll know how to find them later.

• How to extract a file ZIP (structure records incl.) worldwide RIM of JavaAPI - anyone tried it?

  Hello

  any of you have ever tried to write code, that can extract a ZIP file that contains several files? I ask because in the JavaWorld, it is quite a simple task (using the file zip (or ZipInputStream) and ZipEntry)...

  Now, I wanted to do the same thing in my BB Application - and I realize now that there is no equivalent to ZipEntry... and provided him GZInputStream & ZLibInputStream are 'just' capable of files unique handle [but not including file archives].

  So my question is, is there someone who has always tried to extract a ZIP on the BB with the RIM API? And if so could you help me... or even better is a sort of LIB (jar) that can be used?

  TIA

  Matthias

  just for the records (if someone else is looking for it) - there is a GNU zipME lib:
