chiangrai Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I have the program Inaudible but it won't run on some files. I buy the files legit from you know who and usualy have no problems but some times I do. This time it's saying that the output path is too long for windows and to please adjust your output path. I tried changing the file name in all the places I could think of but it didn't work. What can I do.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiMaai Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) It's not just the name of the file, it's the name of the full file path including all the folders and sub-folders. Try using a different location or shortening some of the folder names if possible. EDIT: The full path can be 260 characters, max. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/fileio/naming-a-file Edited September 17, 2018 by JaiMaai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaidDown Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 If you want to check if any file exceeds the normal 260 ch path length you can use 'pathscan' program which is tiny, portable and easy to use. https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/Path-Scan.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiangrai Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 So I put the file in Disk D and change the name to M. So when I open the program the Audible file is D/M.aax and I change output file to D//M.mp3. I see now that I have changed the output file and not the output path. How do I do this.

How do I do this.If you are attempting to save the file as D:/M.mp3 then you should certainly not be getting an issue with the path length.Can you post a screen shot of the error? I'm not familiar with the specific program.Sent from my TA-1021 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisinth Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) OP, to test it, copy the file you are trying to open from your normal storage folder to your C drive. No need to change the file name. Point your program at the copied file on your C drive and try to open it. The path to the file should be C:\ *filename*. This should prove that the problem is with the file path being too long. Note: Even if you copy to your desktop the file path will be something like: C:\Users\*Username*\Desktop\*filename*. Edit: If you go to Folder Options (the snap is from W10 but similar on W7), play with the two options marked in red; first one to show the full path and the second to display extension types on files (if you haven't already unchecked it).

How are you changing the extension (from .aax to .mp3)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
