Issues copying files
Hi, I bought a Poke 2 and I have problems to copy files with long names on the device. I tried to enable the long path option on Windows but the copying still crashes...
How can I solve it? |

I haven't run into those limits.
My longest path is 40 characters long. Are you sure that it isn't some character instead? Do you have an example of a path? You said Windows, but you didn't say how you copied. Windows File Explorer over MTP? PTP? UMS? ADB? Calibre? |

And especially the Windows Explorer can react quite strangely when trying to copy a folder structure into a subfolder in the target system. |

I would definitely try to narrow this down.
It could be a forward slash in a path. Question marks or asterisks can be problematical too. |

I disabled the 265 characters limit; and the issue stood. I temporarely solved manually renaming the files. But would like to find a permanent solution.
Copying to and from other hard drives doesn't give me any problem. Only the Poke 2 bothers. |

You still haven't said how you are trying to copy files.
WiFi? USB? MTP? ADB? How? Using a program? Command line? FTP? If renaming kind of solved the problem, why don't you mention the before and after names? |

Those files don't have any known file extension, like .epub
Are they in directories that are that long too? What is the error you get? Some popup from Windows? |
