It woudln't help. I'm dealing with over a million files and
you'd need those files too.
But basically all I have done is created a new rename function:
void removeFile(string fn)
{
if (!isDir(fn))
{
// remove(fn)
setAttributes(fn, 0x80);
auto ls = executeShell(`del /F /Q "`~fn~`"`);
if (ls.status != 0) throw new Exception("Cannot delete file
`"~fn~"`!");
}
}
And this works and functions appropriately.
The other code is basically just recursively going through the
directory as standard practice using dirEntries and deleting
certain files(it's a little more complex since there is some
logic on the file name, but nothing touches the file except
delete).
Went ahead and did the following in case anyone comes across
your issue in the future:
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/6707
That way the documentation will at least be clear about it.
Thanks. The problem ultimately is MAX_PATH.
Seems that phobo's does not detect windows 10 nor use unicode for
such things as it should which would not break simple code(one
expects file routines to be well used and the bugs fixed). Seems
not to many people use D for windows with long paths and files
and hence D for windows.
The fix is relatively simple ("prepend \\?\ or use the wide
functions).
