Oh, I forgot to mention. Not all users of Win10 are running the "Anniversary Edition, version 1607". This is the only version in which the max_path can be enabled. (To check your version, SETTINGS. SYSTEM, ABOUT.)

However, you must opt-in to the new behavior. Check with Microsoft for the complete instructions. It has been a godsend! CE _____ From: LegacyUserGroup <legacyusergroup-boun...@legacyusers.com> on behalf of Richard Van Wasshnova <rfvanwasshn...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2016 9:15 AM To: Legacy User Group Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Media File Transfer Cathy, The media relinker seems like a recipe for disaster. If it should find a file with the right name in some off the wall folder it probably is not the sane file and I wouldn't want my laptop Legacy to mismatch the desktop (disaster). If anyone is creating incomplete media backups due to exceeding the 260 character filepath/name then it is a serious problem. If they only have Legacy on one computer I don't know they could check for the problem but they should. Since George does have a 2nd computer with Legacy it is important to all of us to discover if problem is from exceeding 260 char. George, What if you create a media backup with shorter filename. My default is: vanwasshnova-media 2016-12-06 9.28.37 AM.zip but could be shortened to vw-media Dec-06.zip at least to try to fit more media files if not all.
