NConvert and long pathnames

Post by herb »

Hello Pierre,

I am working with NConvert (unicode) version 7.240 and 7.301 on Win10.
My questions is:
- does Nconvert support long pathnames ( > MAX_PATH)?
- how must I send the (long) filename to NConvert

My tested commands is

Code: Select all

Nconvert ...some options... "<filename with long pathname>"
Nconvert ...some options... "\\?\<filename with long pathname>"
the first is working properly for filenames with length < MAX_PATH,
but using long pathnames for both I get: "Cannot open file"

Would it be possible that NConvert also supports long pathnames?

Thanks in advance
Best regards
