Issues copying files

Are they in directories that are that long too?
What is the error you get? Some popup from Windows?

I omitted the extention: they are epubs

I thought something like that, but I cannot fix the problem

Weird. What version of Windows 10 and Oynx firmware do you have? I'm running Windows 10 Pro version 2004 and Oynx firmware 3.1 on my Nova 2 and I can't replicate this. I've created a folder in a path so long that Windows won't let me create a new folder in it (it just tells me the file name would be too long for the destination folder) but it'll happily let me copy files off the Nova 2 even if the name is would exceed "New Folder". Some programs like Calibre eBook viewer won't open the epubs in the super long folder but ADE does and if I copy the book to somewhere else it works (once renamed as it gets truncated). And I haven't even enabled long path support.

So perhaps unique to the Poke 2?

Firmware 3.1


I unlocked the Windows' limit of 256 characters, but nothing

Can you copy those files to a path it would be less than 260 characters? Like straight on C:\ or in the documents folder or something?

Thanks, but most of the times the file path is too long anyhow.
