Developer’s Description

By Or Ben Shabat
Detect files and folders with longer filenames.
Too Long Paths Detector is designed to tackle the 'path name too long' issue. Windows operating systems have a path length limit of 255 characters, and it can't handle files and folders beyond that length. Unfortunately, Windows does enable you to create them, so you may end up with inaccessible files. Too Long Paths Detector scans the directory tree, looking for files and folders with full path name longer than a specified threshold, and alerts the user. For system administrators, TLPD can also work in silent mode, with the results stored in a log file
