Hi,
In the Windows API, the maximum length for a path is MAX_PATH, which is defined as 260 characters. The API has many functions that also have Unicode versions to permit an extended-length path for a maximum total path length of 32,767 characters. We must use '\\?\' in the path as a prefix to get this benefit.

But Imageen WPD support conflicts with this kind of path. when it detects this prefix, it checks portable devices,

* How can I add long path support to imageen?
* is there any workaround to use long path support without '\\?\' ?


Thanks in advance

Thanks for the report. I'll need to investigate this when we are back in the office in the new year.

Hi

We have a fix for this. You can email me for the beta.

Alternatively, you can strip the '\\?\' prefix before adding the filename to ImageEn to support extended length filenames.
