Rename Files with Paths Longer than 255? (New to BRU)
Posted: Sun Jul 31, 2022 7:48 am
Hi -
Downloaded Bulk Rename Utility specifically to reduce files with total paths over 255 on my Win 7 machine; amazingly, I could not find a free dedicated tool to do this, so I assume Win 10 / 11 doesn't suffer from this affliction...
Anyway, I just would like to sweep through my archive hard drive and locate (and rename) files which will have an overly long path if/when I copy them to backup, so, find and rename say 220 characters limit with root path
Kindly advise how I can do this - am simultaneously trying to figure out the manual as well and locate youtube vids, etc, but so far I'm stumped and overwhelmed by the massive interface
Thanks for any suggestions,
(PS * Are there pre-sets for BRU? I installed 'samples' when I installed the program, if there are presets pls advise too)
