File and full path length

[Pauleduc]

Would it be possible to add a context menu option to display the length of the full path name for a file? You know, just right click on a file and select file name length or full path length for a specific file?

I often have problems copying files because the full length of the path name is over the 260 character limit. It would be handy to have this function instead of me manually counting all the characters in the full path name.

Thanks!

Why do that when the info is readily available via file info tips as I said in http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... 917#p75917? No click even needed! Just hover...

That request inspires me to an script:

* Have Dual Pane enabled
* In one pane browse to the target folder
* In the other pane select the file to copy

* execute this script

Code: Select all

  $TargetPath = get("Path", "i"); $LenP = strlen($TargetPath) +1;
  $SelectedFile = "<curname>";    $LenF = strlen($SelectedFile);
  msg "Selected File:<tab>$SelectedFile<crlf>
       Target Path:<tab>$TargetPath\<crlf 3>
       New length:<tab>Path $LenP + File $LenF = " . $LenP+$LenF;

* Example result:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
           XYplorer
---------------------------
Selected File:	Untitled1-saved with NewName.txt
 Target Path:	E:\temp\_Ricoh Caplio software for Windows\_caprio Orig CD\Caplio Software\Disk1


 New length:    Path 81 + File 32 = 113
---------------------------
             OK   
---------------------------
