What method enables file name to have text longer than 256 char rule ?
Hi,
win7 64bit pro.
The windows limit on path length is forever a pain, better than the horrendous 8 character allowed in win95 meaning no files had any sensible name to search on, but 256 chars path length is still stupidly limiting.
I have photos of the contents of a manual which features various photos of different parts of an aircraft, by the time I have given the file the long manual name which it should have, there is not enough space to then say what the particular picture is showing.
I can , I wish...either give the file the object name, and have it that the manual name is accessible when I or anyone hover the file with cursor, or have the object name accessible upon hover.
I also need to be able to do a file search on *object name* and find the file as well as on subject name such as main wheel hub or rudder hinge etc.
as it sits a few layers down in the file path, windows also adds to it the path length so I will hit the 256 character rule.
Is there a way of giving a file the ability to hold more text about where its from, such as the name of the manual in my example ? That it can travel with the file even when the file is taken out of its original folder location.
I could name the folder the manuals name and just name the files within the names of the subject matter but if the file is seen away from the folder that manuals name is lost.
