Hello,
I made fresh install of MC28 few days ago and then run Auto-Import of my full library spanning 4 HDDs.

Almost all went fine except "Skipped 241 files (filename too long)": something so was reported in the small bottom left "import" panel.
Well, OK, I am ready to manually rename those files (directories I suppose), but how can know which are? Where is the log reporting those exceptions?
Or, in other way, how can I query MC28 to know which are these 241 files?

Regards, Andrea

Since the files are not imported you can't find them using MC. They're probably logged in MC's debug log, but it would be a chore to collect them all.
Instead, you can use a Windows command to find them. Open a Powershell window and run this command, replacing C:\MyMusic with your actual Music folder:

Code: [Select]

cmd /c dir C:\MyMusic /s /b |? {$_.length -gt 259}
Let it run, it will only print the long paths.

Alternatively, there are also free tools available:
