If you can't organize your files and folders in such a way that you don't require full paths longer than 256 characters, then there's something wrong with you, not your operating system.

>switching OSs because you need support for longer path names
LMAO, that's like switching from Paradox to MySQL because you need support for more than 255 columns per table.

>>58973713
It can handle paths >256 chars, however applications need to set a flag in their manifest to support that because of backwards compatibility.

The operating system is supposed to make things easier for me, I shouldn't need to make things easier for the operating system.

Clearly he didn't name it to be 256 chars, it's a generated name and it was assumed he was not using a POS garbage OS.

"Easy" is not having to change the way you do things just because your operating system is irredeemable piece of shit.

>>58973713
I mean I don't understand how that is useful, but if it is something that can be implemented it should.

It is easier to find things in a deep hierarchy.
Long filenames may give a better meaning of the content of the file.
I never type the full filename when I access or edit a file, but having the longer name makes it easier to deal with and not running into issues like you cannot take backups of certain directories because the path would be too long is just nonsense.

Found the retard who's never had to do any actual work in his life.

I work at an engineering firm. We check shit out from an international robotics conglomerate's EPDM server, and because they have millions of projects, the pathnames are huge. We regularly run into Windows losing its fucking marbles over the long pathnames, but it's not like there was any choice...

Unless, of course, you think millions of parts, drawings, FEA reports, data sheets, etc. should be stored in a directory structure a couple directories deep.

Go back to /v/ and /wg/ and shitpost about your battlestation and waifu somewhere else.

Every operating system has some maximum filename length. Linux and Windows both have a maximum of 255 bytes for a single filename, while path lengths vary. On the EXT4 filesystem used by Linux, the maximum path length is 4096 characters. On NTFS, the theoretical limit is much higher (around 32k, from what I'm reading), but Windows itself imposes a harder limit of 260 characters, including the drive letter and null terminator. This restriction has apparently been removed in later versions of Windows 10.

Of course, none of this should matter much. I have found even among people who are really inefficient with their file naming schemes, with deeply nested directory trees with long filenames, the limit is rarely ever hit.

>>58976137

>the pathnames are huge
Do the pathnames contain redundant information?

>>58976354
None at all. Each project contains more projects that contain more projects. There's also directories for the drawings and associated data.

Joe Spreadsheet will not hit the limit. People who are actually with the shits will.

My Bach collection requires it be located as a root directory(or close to it) or else you can't access ~1/4 of the files because they're nested too deeply for the file system to deal with.

When dealing with Bach works that are segregated by instrument(violin, harpisohord, flute, piano, etc) and then again by type of song(Sonatas, Concertos, Suits, partites, etc), and on top of that the full file name of the song itself is in many cases very long.

For example here is one Cantantas's full file path
L:\Bach - Complete Works\Vol IV - Cantantas II\CD 23 - BWV 71, 76, 10\08 - J.S. Bach - Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes BWV 76 - I Coro (Soprano, Alto, Tenore, Basso)

And this isn't even the longest name or most deeply nested file.

Sounds like some pretty complex shit then. Though I do know a Joe Spreadsheet who has hit the limit once, primarily because of his tendency to use really redundant filenames (i.e. classname thing1/classname thing2/classname thing3, when it could have been classname/thing1/thing2/thing3)

>>58976900
if you weren't a complete twatwaffle you could shorten the names
