long path support need to be investigated

For Windows 10 => Not sure what needs to be Investigated. There is Option to Enable it, if it's not already Enabled. Also Python after installing it Will ask you if you want to Enable long path support.

Long path only becomes an Issue on Windows 7. Which support for Windows 7 ends in 5 months.

Could use:

Import FileSystemInfo = Pri.LongPath.FileSystemInfo; Import DirectoryInfo = Pri.LongPath.DirectoryInfo; Import FileInfo = Pri.LongPath.FileInfo;

instead of System.IO, The above code is only needed for older OS's.

You mean you successfully used long paths in staxrip? I've never really tried.

There isn't really a path length any more on Windows 10.

I know there is a switch to enable it, by default it's disabled. Even when it's enabled I'm sure many apps will not support long paths for various reasons, I know one of my .net utilities failed recently but when it happened I didn't have time to investigate it.

• If any Harddrive still uses FAT, It will not work on due to limitations it has.

The Other is likely due to the Framework, Anything above 4.6.2 has Long Path support by default. The Max Limit is now (32,767), from the previous 260.

Info was pulled directly from MS docs. Could be an issue when using external processes that is not native to the app.

It would be nice to support it but if tools like mkvtoolnix don't support it there is not much we can do.
