Description:
Discussed at mail list by D.Kozlov:
Windows API is capable of working with extended-length path for a maximum total path length of 32,767 characters, thus, overcoming the infamous 260 characters path limitation (a.k.a. MAX_PATH). To specify an extended-length path, use the "\?" prefix. For example, "\?\C:\Very\Long\Path".
According to Windows Docs, one can enable the new long path behavior per app via the manifest:
-----------------------------
&LtPos;application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings xmlns:ws2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">
&LtPos;ws2:longPathAware>true&LtPos;/ws2:longPathAware>
</windowsSettings>
&LtPos;/application>
-----------------------------
here is my patch which adds option to IDE Project Options.
Additional information:
I'm not sure about correct place for new XML option. Someone pls check it.
