Re: XYplorer no longer opening PDFs with overlong paths

Yeah my individual directory names may be descriptive, but nowhere near as long as that

Re: XYplorer no longer opening PDFs with overlong paths

For what it's worth, I did some more poking and prodding at the issue. It seems to be a fuzzy function of both the length of the directories-only part of the path and the depth of the path (# of directories), and a possible interaction between those two parameters. WE runs into the issue as well, bu...

Re: XYplorer no longer opening PDFs with overlong paths

I tried all three of those methods, and it made no difference unfortunately.

Re: XYplorer no longer opening PDFs with overlong paths

While my hope is to be able to eventually store my car's FSM and its "attached" XYplorer portable install on a USB drive, and be able to use it all in a portable fashion, at the moment my FSM and the attached portable XYplorer install live in my Documents folder under my username on C driv...

Re: XYplorer no longer opening PDFs with overlong paths

No, I'm just unable to open any overlong-path file with any of my XYplorer installs. I just tried copying a TXT file to the overlong folder location, and I got the same error message when I tried opening it from XYplorer (right half of screenshot). But the same file still opens just fine from WE (le...

Re: XYplorer no longer opening PDFs with overlong paths

I tried making a fresh instance like you suggested, but no luck. :cry: Fresh XYplorer Instance.png But I do remember one thing that I wonder if it's relevant. Doesn't seem like it should be, but maybe it is. Here's the story: The main reason I wanted a Windows Explorer alternative is because I downl...

Re: XYplorer no longer opening PDFs with overlong paths

Adobe Reader successfully opens the file when I open it from there, which doesn't surprise me since Windows Explorer also successfully opened the PDF using Acrobat Reader.

XYplorer not opening the file is very recent new behavior unfortunately.

XYplorer no longer opening PDFs with overlong paths

I'm running Windows 10, and I bought a lifetime license last month because I needed a Windows Explorer alternative that could work with overlong file paths, and so far this software has been amazing. For the past month, it's been working great, until today. Now for some reason it fails to open the f...
