File name too long

[Shorosky]

Hello: When I try to open an example project from nordik, keil doesn't open some files and I get the following error: "no source": Error: #5: cannot open source input file "............\components\serialization\connectivity\codecs\s130\serializers\ble_gatts_evt_rw_authorize_request.c": No such file or directory

If I change the name of the file, and its name is below 25 characters, it can open it. What can I do?

I looking for a better solution that change the name of all files that I can't open :D

I have recently used a program called Long Path Tool & i am so happy with the results that this particular program does. Long Path Tool did the job for me within a very short period of time. So no need to google each problem, just grab the program called Long Path Tool.

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 "me" 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.
