Bug - long filename causes silent fail of Win File Property

Postby chrisjj » Fri Jul 18, 2025 12:54 pm

Windows 7, BRU 4.0.0.9.

Long filename causes silent fail of Windows File Property, returning null with no alert. This happens in both file list and JS fileProperty.

1 Set:

<(System.Message.FromName)>

2 In the file list view a file with filename+ext 168 chars, pathname 238 chars - Custom is correct.

3 In the file list view a file with filename+ext 175 chars, pathname 245 chars - Custom is EMPTY.

It would be great to have a fix soon, since this is pranging my urgent project. Thanks.

After the forum Preview showed that output pic fine, the forum cropped it (and won't let me edit the post).

Workaround:
