When I try to open an example project from nordik, keil doesn&amp;#39;t open some files and I get the following error:
&amp;quot;no source&amp;quot;: Error: #5: cannot open source input file &amp;quot;............\components\serialization\connectivity\codecs\s130\serializers\ble_gatts_evt_rw_authorize_request</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Sun, 20 Aug 2017 06:58:58 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/12050/file-name-too-long" /><item><title>RE: File name too long</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/45633?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Aug 2017 06:58:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6a6289b8-dfca-4dbb-a307-db0f82d72145</guid><dc:creator>corey lean</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have encountered this problem many times. Lets consider an example so that you understand; C:\oraclxe\app\oracle\diag\tnslr\user\listener\me.txt, In this &amp;quot;me&amp;quot; file will not be counted as 2 character but will be counted as number of characters in the path name. Its because the windows API has MAX_LENGTH of 255 characters only. To solve this you can try GS Richcopy 360. I am currently using this software and it has worked for me and my enterprise to solve all our problems related to file copying. Try it, it helps.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: File name too long</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/45632?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Mar 2017 07:25:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:8ecc7ab0-8e3e-4e27-bb3e-5d5777855b27</guid><dc:creator>frank1982</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I have recently used a program called Long Path Tool &amp;amp; i am so happy with the results that this particular program does.

&lt;p&gt;I find that Eclipse-based tools are particularly prone to generate excessively-long paths&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately this is an error that stems from very long path names, and the latest version of Windows. We are working on a solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the meantime you can extract the SDK using &lt;a href="http://www.7-zip.org/"&gt;7-zip&lt;/a&gt;, this solves the issue with long path names because of the way 7-zip deals with path lenghts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Øyvind&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: File name too long</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/45623?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 Feb 2016 13:28:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:0fda28ad-0744-43e5-b9e6-3ea73b90959f</guid><dc:creator>Shorosky</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hello:
