enclosed my folder content which i am trying to archive using 7z and I end with following error
but for zip format this error does not appear
additionally I was able to create 7z archive using 7z exe directly from portableapps.
Clipboard Text.7z (366.6 KB)
forgot to mention DOpus version.
12.10 and 12.9.4 both has same issue
It's due to the path length. The archives plugin cannot compress paths longer than MAX_PATH (260 characters) at the moment.
It's something I plan to improve, but path lengths that long will cause problems (including crashes, not just errors like this) with a lot of of software, so they are best avoided even if they work with some things.
e.g. Paths like this one:
D:\PAPPS\vscode-insider-x64\data\extensions\rockcat.avr-support-0.0.1\node_modules\vscode\node_modules\gulp-filter\node_modules\gulp-util\node_modules\dateformat\node_modules\meow\node_modules\normalize-package-data\node_modules\validate-npm-package-license\node_modules\spdx-correct\node_modules\spdx-license-ids\spdx-license-ids.json
How is that same archive plugin works perfectly for zip format?
The archives plugin isn't used for zip.
Got it. Just for your information 7z executable from portable apps works well.
By the way until you guys come up with a solution could you replace the error message with more meaningful one(folder length exceeds nnn) ?
I've updated the plugin to handle extremely long paths. It will be in the next beta (12.10.1).
thanks.
