Hi,
Yes "addition/extraction of files where the external path is greater
than MAX_PATH (260 characters)? " is what I need.
Is there any round about way ?
Suggestion:
In case you can add the files in the base folder itself and send the long
folder name as parameter in one of your events, say on NewFile, then I can add
a text file containing the path into the Zip. Extraction can be just as it
currently is.
Regards
Allan Fernandes

@Allan Fernandes,
Just for clarification, do you want to use filenames greater than 255
characters **within** zip files or are you concerned about
addition/extraction of files where the external path is greater than
MAX_PATH (260 characters)?
