Just started moving (copying, pasting etc) a few things around on my file server:


Ideas?

VP

Desc: Out of string space

(Full) file name longer than 255 characters ?
and / or
if server is Samba does it configuration support long filename ?

Reproducible?

Only happened this one time and I have not had the exact situation to retest.

The activity was on a Windows 2022 server BTW. Did not think I was exceeding a 256 char filepath but I suppose anything is possible.

If it occurs again - I will circle back.

Also - on a general user friendless note - if this error actually IS due to an extremely long filepath - maybe consider having XY post a message that is easy to understand. As it stands - this is a message only a developer could love (or make any sense of).

The error messages have two audiences: me and you (in that order). Sometimes hard to hit the sweet spot.

Two things on "Out of string space":
1) Has nothing to do with file name length
2) Has often nothing to do with anything. It likes to come when the error handling itself got broken.

Understood. Just would be nice to know what is going on without needing to resort to asking more questions.

Makes sense - because even after this error came up a few times - whatever I was doing - still got done. It was not like XY did not complete the task.

Like I said - this app is golden when it comes to stability. But every so often - I see things like this.

No biggie.

Cheers!
