    Unable to Move/Edit Due to Long File Names

    I've ran into this problem several times with dBpoweramp 14.4 where it rips the file names to the drive with names so large that I am then unable to manually edit or move them. I can eventually rename them the the Command Prompt and although it doesn't take long it is a hurdle I'd rather not jump. Is there a setting that I can turn on that will truncate the file name?

    I the majority of my music is organized like so: J.S. Bach Glenn Gould - Goldberg Variations: BWV 988 - Aria

    It's really the only way I can organize my music library so I don't rally have the option of leaving information out.

    Thanks for your time,

    L

    By default the filenames are truncated to a maximum of 260 chars (including drive) this is all that is needed for Windows. Unless you move the folder somewhere else, which has more characters.
