  1. A workaround the "path file is too long" problem


    Hey,I am currently experiencing some problems with the file explorer's max path lenght limit.I have a folder structure that is pretty deep with about 1 million files in it, so the path lenghts get pretty long after a while.Currently, I am experiencing two different types of problems:Sometimes I can't see files, that are behind paths over 260 characters, but I can access them from sharepoint.com. This has been partially fixed, I don't know how, but for example I can now see into some files under long file paths.The other problem, occurs when I am able to entry the folder with a long path: for e

  4. A workaround the "path file is too long" problem

    Add a path to $PATH?

    Yeah, I think you're right. I think the purpose of the echo command was to check if ~/bin was in the $PATH file. My problem is that I can't decipher the output and I don't know how to add ~/bin to the $PATH file.

    Just for clarification, the snippet of instructions I gave is just a few steps in the installation process. Nothing is actually supposed to be installed with those steps.

    Thanks for the reply.
