It would be more appropriate to apply this patch to juce::File instead, and once and for all.Īlso it should preferably cache the long filename prefix in an opaque static string to call the statistics class only once. So this string I showed will be empty if the OS is not windows 10, you still have to add it to a legacy path, but it is not clear if the location you pin-pointed is the proper way to do it as maybe there would be other calls to file.getFullPathName() that would not get this prefix. Using shorter paths is not an option, and will not be considered an accepted solution. I also found a similar unanswered 4 years old topic about the issue: Windows MAX_PATH To check a possible fix, i was able to deal with those files if i mangled the path to contain the L"\\\\?\\" prefix and ensuring the unicode version of the API is used as in: void FileOutputStream::openHandle()Īuto h = CreateFileW ((juce::String(L"\\\\?\\") + file.getFullPathName()).toWideCharPointer(), We have some other CreateFile calls, and this could potentially affect other calls like CreateNamedPipe, SetFileAttributes, RemoveDirectory, DeleteFile and in general every windows API function that takes a path.

OPEN_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, nullptr) įails badly with long filenames.

If you are dealing with long path names (exceeding 260 chars) on windows 10, even if you enabled long path names via Registry or Local Group Policy Editor (depending on the version of your windows), juce fails creating or accessing files, an example: void FileOutputStream::openHandle()Īuto h = CreateFile (file.getFullPathName().toWideCharPointer(),
