I'm getting a bunch of these

09/11/2020 15:09:20: Hashing file: ""
09/11/2020 15:09:20: Failed to open really.long.file.name.with.lots.of.dots.1x01.in.which.an.even.longer.title.name.is.buried.avi


These filenames are > 122 characters, and the directory path is 138 characters at 7 levels deep

Files with slightly shorter names in the same directories are read fine


Most other files are also at 7 levels of nesting, so I don't think that's the issue

Is there an arbitrary limit on file name length?
(Running 0.60a inside wine on Ubuntu)

It looks like MAX_PATH is being hit - this is overrideable and only a default by the look of things

This is the 260 character limit enforced by NTFS. Apparently it's been removed but apps need to use the new API calls.

Is it an issue with Wine or Ubuntu not supporting extra long file names rather than eMule? Are you storing on a hard drive formatted to support extra long filenames, like NTFS?
Workaround: Use shorter paths, or move your files and pointers!

This error represents that the file name is either too long to open, delete, or edit considering the given file location or path on your hard drive. Windows by rule only allows a file path to be up to 260 characters long. Keep it under that and you should be fine!
