--- Comment #3 from Roland <[email protected]> --- Turns out its a problem with length of path + filename. Apparently 260 characters is the link for the standard file system API (Win32 MAX_PATH). In my case, I have some nested folders. and some file names that were imported that are more descriptive of event/date etc. This showed up because I moved those files to a subdirectory for later eval/rename. I dont know if it is already possible, or if it would be plausible to perhaps highlight paths + names that bust that limit. Its sort of a hard limit in Win 10/11, and most people dont realize it since file names can simply terminate in Digikam as ... in the preview. I dont know the best solve, but I do know RTFM is a bad solve- people simply cannot know every limit that exists with files- character support etc, but normally you get some type of dynamic prompt preventing this. Windows doesnt prevent this 260 char limit since it isnt a native problem, it is more a problem with Explore and with a couple of processes like drag. So I can drag an offending file from within an album to the desktop, but if I right click the file and select Open in File manager, it doesnt crash or generate an alert- it simply opens Explore as it would generically- Root selected as 'This PC', no drive/directory/file hints at all...
