The limitation is on Windows pathnames, not on URLs (that are mapped to pathnames, by replacing sequences of escape-encoded bytes with sequences of pathname characters), so the ratio of human readable characters to pathname characters is usually much smaller than 9, typically 1--3 (depending on the character encoding used by Windows). -Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
Re: [dev] Long file names
Hi, In what situation do you currently encounter the problem? What do you do? What do you expect? What your OpenOffice.org actually does despite your expectations. One possible, interesting topic: Generally speaking, one Chinese, including most Far East Asian languages, characters will be internally converted into 9 ASCII characters ( three occurrences of % followed by two hex-decimal digits ) in a certain situation because of UTF-8 hex-decimal encoded URL. If the length of text is limited up to 256 bytes somewhere, in the worst case, the limitation for the number of Chinese characters might become 28, not 256. (256 / 9 = 28.4). For example, Chinese characters: 中国 Corresponding URL: %E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD (forcedly encoded) ASCII letters: China Corresponding URL: China (no need to be encoded) Tora Wei Min Teo wrote: It seems that openoffice has a maximum path name of 260 chars?

I can only think of making a copying to a temp file, do your work and copy back. Thanks. Most of the windows API limits the maximum path to 260 chars. I have bumped into this limit many times. There are some unicode extensions that allow for longer path names, as discussed here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247%28VS.85%29.aspx I have never bothered to pursue them, because although I have created path/filename combinations that exceed this, most of the other tools start failing in very bad ways (Windows explorer, command line tools, etc. ) -- Andrew Pitonyak My Macro Document: http://www.pitonyak.org/AndrewMacro.odt My Book: http://www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/oome.htm Info: http://www.pitonyak.org/oo.php See Also: http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/index.html - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org

Yes, see http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=50885. Is it possible to pass in to the loadComponentFromUrl function using a relative path instead of an absolute path? That would not help, as under the covers of loadComponentFromUrl an absolute filepath is passed to the Windows API. -Stephan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.org
