The problem with that is that such paths work only with part of the API, and only with absolute paths. As the platform SDK so eloquently puts in in the "Naming a File" section, "The Unicode versions of several functions permit a maximum path length of approximately 32,000 characters composed of components up to 255 characters in length. To specify that kind of path, use the "\\?\" prefix." "approximately", eh? And note how they just say "several" functions. To specify exactly which ones would be too easy on the developer, wouldn't it? --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
