Support Windows long path aware about efsw HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @SpartanJ,

I have tested your work and it works as expected. Thanks!

As far as I know, Windows explorer doesn't support long paths due to compatibility reasons. However, you can try using PowerShell, with which you can create long path files.

Oh, that code is very old, I never encountered the issue so I forgot about it. Let's fix it!

@solarispika let me know if this works for you. I couldn't enable long paths, even following this, I expected at least that the file explorer worked with long paths to create a long path but it keeps complaining about the path length when I want to create it, so please confirm me if this works. The implementation now does not limit the number of bytes to assign, so it shouldn't have any problem.

Great! Thanks for letting me know!
