Crash when editing files with long file names
Hi.
Anyone else had the issue whereby you import a file with a very long file name from workspace, file goes into edit window after being copied to audio files folder. Then when you try to edit the file, protools hangs. PT 2021.3.1 Can replicate crash every time. Fix is to shorten file name in finder. Going to be a major pain in the bum renaming all the long file names in the library. cheers, John. |

Re: Crash when editing files with long file names
Are you on Windows? There is a max filename limit (based on directory structure -- 256 characters including the full file path). When you start banging up against the limit, the OS and any program start having problems.
This can rear its head when you move a long-named file from a non-nested folder or folders with short names to a deeply nested folder and/or folders with longer names.
