Description ¶
OK for not supporting long paths in most API (see ticket 1795)... fair enough.
But what about FileGetShortName? Surely, this function should not crash when requesting a short name.
Here, there is a double issue actually:
- the function crashes if the file doesn't exist... well fair enough.
- the function crashes even if the file exists.
I wrote FileGetShortNameV2 and been using it for a while to demonstrate what the proper behaviour should be to allow to work with long paths: it is squizzing the path but leaves the filename intact.
eg. 'C:\DOCUME~1\PSZCZE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\AUTOIT~1\FILEGE~1\CRASHT~1\the_filanemeis_the_original_one.txt'
And, btw, using this, it would be possible to create a FileWriteV2, FileReadV2, etc. functions.
Anyway, I don't think FileGetShortName should be crashing when being fed with a long path...
