unexpected results moving overlong files by drag & drop
Posted: 14 Jan 2026 17:06
Hi Don,
when I move a file from one overlong location path to another overlong location path via drag & drop (I only consciously tested it with two overlong paths), it seems that XY converts the file name to the "short path" version, saving the file name in the new location in the "shortened" form - and also - changing a .docx extension to a .DOC extension.
When I move the same file from and to the same locations via Ctrl+x and Ctrl+v, then this does not happen, but all behaves normal.
