file path too long

"optical media presents one particular problem, for storage
purposes. That is, if a file's path contains too many characters, it
can't be copied or moved, to disc. "

Roxio says OS might have trouble reading a file if the path is too
long. Thus, a simple solution is to ZIP files.
jpg cant be compressed, so use the store option.

 

that's one of the main reasons I gave up on optical discs. I have many
deep paths and very long filenames, sometimes exceeding 128
characters. I use only external HD now.

 

Hello, Mr.Bolshoyhuy:

Hey, I recall those quoted lines, above. They're mine, originally

photos?" thread.

So, how 'bout an attribution, dog? :-J


Cordially,
