Path Character Limit

It seems that when I use Image.WriteToFile, the path cannot be more than 259 characters long. It cuts off any letters that are past the limit. This seems like a bug to me.

What OS are you using? (And which version of Draft?) I’ll have a look on Monday to see if I can track this down.

I found this post about Windows having a 260 character limit:

One answer suggested that you can use “\?” as a prefix for longer paths (I tried this, but still had some issues, partially windows related), and another suggested that you can mount a folder as a drive, thus decreasing the path length.

Thanks for the response. Dang Windows.

Agreed.
