Trouble with a Particularly Long Filename

Post by RXP »

I'm getting the following error with the latest Sab (exe) on Windows Server 2008:

Code: Select all

Disk error on creating file C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Downloads\incomplete\PBS_NOVA_S37E15_Hunting_the_Edge_of_Space_-_The_Mystery_of_the_Milky_Way_1080i_HDTV_DD5.1_MPEG2-TrollHD\PBS NOVA S37E15 Hunting the Edge of Space - The Mystery of the Milky Way 1080i HDTV DD5.1 MPEG2-TrollHD.part04.rar
I'm guessing it's because the file name is very long? Is there anyway round this? Or is Sab handling the file incorrectly?

Shortcoming of Windows.
Use less elaborate names or set a lower limit in Config->Special.
