Path and file name of the message is too long to be copied-how fix?

On Windows 7, TB ver 24.6.0, I use a program called SecondCopy to copy my email when my C drive on my desktop to our file server.

I get several messages each day like this one for the copy be saved on our network data sharing:

04/07/2014 21:07:16 - failed to create \\Oz\Data\System\Users\billr\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5kxps6et.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail - 4. com\INBOX.mozmsgs\urn.correios.msg.201211050157328fade3baa08b405e9a940681276b34d9%401352080653478.rte-svc-onebox-na-1d-i-8da6c8f1.us- east - 1.amazon.com.wdseml cannot create the file «» The file name or extension is too long

I did some shorten folder names, but my names pale in comparison with the LOOOOONG TB gives them names.

How can I fix?

I did some shorten folder names, but my names pale in comparison with the LOOOOONG TB gives them names.

This is because the wdseml files are just files created in order to allow windows to search to index your mail. I will not allow it and safe lots of disk space completely wasted on a feature that I don't use. Thunderbird has a search engine perfect condition. At least as good as windows search.
Your mail is stored in highest MBOX files in the profile as well as a file of the same name with an extension of MSF that indexes the contents of the folder. One file and one index per mail folder. In the above example, it will be \\Oz\Data\System\Users\billr\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\5kxps6et.default\ImapMail\imap.googlemail - 4. com

So I suggest backing up your profile under these space takers and seriously consider just disable windows search. Menu (Alt + T) tools > options > advanced > General in respect of the integration of systems.

In addition we have all to live in the 256-character limit on the length of the path imposed by windows.

  • Cannot delete a file in windows 7. Indicates the specified file name is not valid or too long.

    Hello everyone, I'm pretty stuck here. I can't delete a file in windows 7 or any other do with it besides. Says "the specified file name is not valid or too long. It has a funny name [~ t] and no extension. The file type, say "file". The properties are all screwed looking with a mistake on the Security tab, a size of 0 k, is a Windows (c) \Windows\en-US.The other files in this folder appear normal. The computer seems to work very well without any obvious problems. The only problem is my anti-virus reports with a kind of syntax for the file error and indicates it cannot parse this file. I do not. I can't do a thing with it either. Cannot open, rename, move, delete, change passwords, properties, permissions, nothing. It may be necessary for a good part with 0kb. According to me, I want to just delete the thing. Please, anyone? Thanks in advance.

    Hey bud, I figured out how fix it earlier. I am so happy. I came to remember a command called chkdsk which worked very well for various issues, that I had since the construction of my old 2000 Professional machine. I think that one was my first NTFS system. I always liked how well he error correction. Seemed a lot better than the old scandisk. Low and behold, I tried and star ANISE, it is went through it, found this file almost from the beginning of the analysis and a few lines later, he said has been removed. Says something about the file being orphaned some time ago. It was a very bad child, that I tell you. I ran it in safe mode command prompt. I guess he would have done the same thing in the normal windows well, but I happened to be in safemode, when it came to me. I used the switch /f with her. Since the C:\ command prompt or any drive letter your operating system is selected, type CHKDSK/F if I remember although the f was to have it automatically CORRECT errors. I hope this info helps others with their file or disk problems. It seems that many people say they get mistakes and cannot delete various files here in these forums. Thanks Sandeep for answering me and try to help. It does not matter whether or not it was the fix, it takes time to post and your helping people learn to be it. The only thing that remains unanswered for me is actually the thing of the answer. I mean I can't say someone at - it really answered my question and do not count me? Maybe I should mark so that people will bother to read it and get the fix. HMMMM... I come back here some time later and see whats up.  SeeYou, EWOO

  • Windows 7: delete the file - the specified file name is not valid or too long

    Hi I'm trying to delete some files in vain.  I have two types of error messages.

    (1) could not find this file. It is no longer in C:\Users\...
    Check the location and try again.

    (2) the name that you specified is invalid or too long. Specify a different file name.

    There are 7 files in total.  All these files are left by an old Ubuntu experience.   Some of the files were zero kb, but most are non-zero(but small).  Five files are I think printer drivers that end in .Act.  The other two files are in different directories (no KB file) and are called the same thing, "template.desc."

    I tried to go through the forums, but I couldn't understand it.  Thanks in advance to anyone who can help you.

    The only way to remove it is the old way of BACK. Seems the info NTFS, files are broken, but the BACK is always very good.

    I had them and it worked:
    1) open to the high command prompt (CMD)
    Type cd 2) then the location of the file (in my case
    c:\users\james\desktop)
    type dir/x 3)
    (4) next to the file to delete, it will tell the 8.3 file name
    (e.g. HEDI ~ 1).
    (5) type del then 8.3 file name (e.g. HEDI ~ 1).

  • The HTML - output folder Option and the path of file name change question

    In the HTML Options to file and output file name I was wondering if I can change the name of the .chm automatically listed when I click on properties?

    For example, when I click on properties for ABC_v456, which is a SSL in the project ABC123, I see "C:\Projects\ABC_v123\!" SSL!\Help_v456\ABC123.chm' in the output folder and file name field.  I would rename ABC123.chm in ABC456.chm for the love of light. When I compile it will then create a file .chm by ABC456.chm name rather than the name of the ABC123.chm file? I would have then two SSL in the HTML project called Help_v123 and Help_v456each and their respective .chm would be within each folder.  I speak of the sense or is this clarification requiring gibberish on my part? I use Robohelp HTML v7.

    Hi karima

    You should be able to freely appoint the CHM everything that makes sense for you in the field.

    I remember that too, you are perhaps involved in the development of CSH. If the name of the file could play an important role in that. But even after you generate the help, you should be able to rename it if you wish.

    See you soon... Rick

  • How to see the file name of the document with the full path when you move mouse title bar?

    PS CS6 using, Windows 7 x 64.

    I was under the impression that when my mouse hovering over the title bar of the document, I would see a ToolTip showing the full file name, including the path.  This isn't the case and I wonder if there is a way to do it.  I know that I can click on file > save as, or Ctrl-Shift - S to see the full path, but hoving over the title bar would be easier.  (What I now see in the ToolTip is the name of the file, % magnification and layer that I selected.)  Basically, the ToolTip is showing just what is in the title without hovering bar.)

    Thank you!

    I have the macbook pro (OS 10.6.8) and the iphone 6 s. The latest version of iTunes is 11.4. When it is connected to the MAC, I get the message that itunes must be upgraded. How to synchronize or import/export files(images/music)?  Fact is need to update itunes?

    Hi sonalnj,

    I understand that you cannot synchronize your iPhone as iTunes is requested it must be updated. I can help you with that.

    According to the technical specifications for a 6 s iPhone, you need a Mac running OS X v10.8.5 or later version with iTunes 12.3 or later. Because you are on OS X 10.6.8 your version of iTunes is up to date with this OS.

    iPhone 6 s Tech Specs
    http://www.Apple.com/iPhone-6s/specs/

    Now to fix that, you need to update your Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.11 El Capitan. If you want to go to the Mountain Lion, you can do it with the first link below. The cost will be $19.99 and a code will be delivered to you if you can download it via the Mac App Store. Once you have upgraded, be sure to make all software updates to go with him to get the latest version of iTunes.

    OS X Lion mountain
    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/OS-x-mountain-lion

    Now the other option is to move to OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and is a free update that you can do right in the Mac App Store, if you meet the system requirements. Take a look at the following article for more details on how to do it.

    All I've found is how to get the name of an element of the book file (finally that I need too, but later).

    How can I find the file name of the active document (which is not part of a book) and

    How can I find the file name of the current book?

    Thanks again for your help

    Friends,

    Suddenly, I found the answer (research in the reference of the oject for 'Filename' rather than 'file name' - 'path' in the FDK reference):

  • Is there a change in FF8 for file names in the format UTF-8 sent as an attachment

    I send files with non-ASCII characters in their file names in the browser.

    I use the Content-Disposition: attachment; the file name * = "utf - 8" myfilename. "

    It worked well for FF7 and lower grades.

    In FF8, the file name is ignored (Linux and Windows).

    Is this a bug? Is there a better way to solve this problem?

  • How to change a file name in the Photos? (no title)

    I know how to change the title of a photo in the Photos.  But I do not see how you change a file name.  Can anyone help?

    Photos will not change an imported file.  The original master image file is preserved. You can't even change the file name.

    To change the name of the file, export the Photos photo: file > export, and then specify a different file name in the export Panel.

    Re-import the renamed picture, then delete the first version you imported.

  • What is the correct syntax to a PDF form file name in the subject line of an e-mail. Doc Javascript?

    The name of the file is not part of any form field. The name of the file will be also unique whenever the form is used. I also want the name of the file that will be followed by the expression 'evidence' returned by the customer, as in:

    Topic: Proof of Papa Murphys SALEM 8 - 30.pdf returned by the customer

    Here is my existing script, but I need to know the syntax to get the PDF file name added in the subject line.

    this.mailDoc ({bUI: true, cTo: "[email protected]", bassujetti: "proof returned by the customer", CMSG: "attached is the signed evidence.}) Please send to the graphics dept '});

    I'm not very familiar with Javascript so have tried to reconstitute it.

    Unfortunately, there is only so much you can google to get a working solution, I would suggest that you get at least a little familiar with JavaScript (there are a lot of good tutorials and books available). If you want an introduction to Acrobat JavaScript, have a look here: Beginning JavaScript for Adobe Acrobat

    There is a property of the document object that returns the name of the file. You can read the property of Doc.documentFileName here: DC Acrobat SDK Documentation

    In the simplest implementation, you can use this to enter the file name in the subject line:

    this.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: "[email protected]", cSubject: this.documentFileName,  cMsg: "Attached is the signed proof. Please forward to the graphics dept"});
    

    If you want to add more information that just the file name, you will need to assemble your subject line by using variable elements and string constants. Something like this works:

    this.mailDoc({bUI: true, cTo: "[email protected]", cSubject: "The filename is " + this.documentFileName,  cMsg: "Attached is the signed proof. Please forward to the graphics dept"});
