While trying to copy a long file name (using the "Send to" context menu) including the entire path Salamander crashed. Tired it several times and with different file names, S. crashed every time. Found out that the max allowable length is 127 characters, form 128 characters onwards Salamander crashes.
Any help/remedy?
I use Salmander 4.0 (x64), Windows 10 64 bit

Re: Salamander crashes while copying entire path and file name
See maximum file path limitation for more information.
You are probably using unicode (accented characters) which shortens the number of usable characters to half. Salamandercrashes because the subsystem handling the path crashes.

Re: Salamander crashes while copying entire path and file name
Thanks for the answer.
I changed the entry in the registry (LongPathsEnabled) but I can't find this "application manifest file". Salamander still crashes.
Where would I find it?

Re: Salamander crashes while copying entire path and file name
Salamander won't work with long path. Most of the application won't if they are not programmed to do so.
A Manifest file is a XML file of the same name as the executable, but with the xml extension.
you can find more about it in Microsoft's documentation

Re: Salamander crashes while copying entire path and file name
Explain further, if you will.
275 chars.
225, path part
50, name part
I'm in the /assets/ directory, I right-click the .png file, Send to... -> Hasher.
On my end the file opens in Hasher, with a hash displayed.
I do not have longpathenabled (or whatever it is) in the Windows registry.
(This is on Win10.)
I'm kind of surprised that this works - at all, much less fully - between Windows/Salamander/Send To/Hasher.
(I'm kind of surprised that anything works in Windows 10 .)
Now, if I have that 275 char path+name in the windows clipboard, I cannot "paste" that (Shift+Insert, which would normally take you to that directory, focus on that filename) into Salamander - "too long", error message).
(Now, I can paste the shorter 225 char path into Salamander & that will take you to the directory itself.)

Re: Salamander crashes while copying entire path and file name
I don't know how exactly is this done. But I assume it works similarly to the quick search, where you start typing and the cursor moves the the matching path/filename.
