5-Doctor Who - S03E04 _28021_29 - The Daleks_27 Master Plan _2805_29 - Counter Plot

BRU honors system's FullPathName MaxCharLimit

BRU honors your system's FullPathName MaximumCharLimit (varies by shell).
If a file's FullPathName exceeds the limit, it wont address such files (to then rename them).
FullPathName = Drive:\DirPath\Filename.ext

Assuming files were at C:\Dir1\SubDir2\etc\Filename.ext, type below at command-prompt:
Subst Z: "C:\Dir1\SubDir2\etc"

It substitutes Z:\ for chars in "DirPath", letting apps address files as Z:\Filename.ext
(freeing-up more chars for use within Filename.ext)

From there, you should have no prob accessing files via the Z: Drive in BRU's left-pane.
When finished, you can delete the DirPath/Z-Drive substitution by:
Subst Z: /d
