Extracting ST4 files- "path too long"

Postby ruffsongs » Sat May 18, 2019 2:24 pm

Hello all,
I downloaded the ST4 files, but am thus far unable to extract them- I'm getting a "path too long" error. Running Windows 10 Home Edition. Anyone else encountered this?

OK, per Google search...I needed to "enable long paths" in the registry editor. Would recommend filing a ticket if others are not comfortable doing that.

Back in the day before I became a Mac guy, this was an issue I faced many times, especially those who love long folder and file names. :D This has been an issue since Windows started integrating .zip compression into the OS.

The open source, community supported utility 7-Zip does not have this limitation, and it supports opening .rar and even Apple's .dmg (Disk Image) files. Quick installation, free, no ads, etc. since it's open source.
