Just want to reporting  bug/issue? sometime the catalog movie the title is too long so it kinda like corrupt , I can't play the video/copy/move the folder because the name is too long unless i have to cut  short the title/rename it. Maybe can implement the maximum lenghth name title that can be recognize by the windows? just some input thanks

Hi,

Thanks for letting me know. Currently Jav-It does truncate titles that are too long, but it is possible it needs to be more conservative. I assume your using Windows 10? I'll try to look at this ASAP and see if I can reproduce the issue!

UPDATE: I took a look at your problem and I think I know what the issue is. When Windows works with folder names, it intentionally cripples itself and limits paths to a max length of 255 characters when specifying relative paths. So if you specify a path to scan like this:

jav-it catalog -d my_videos

Where "my_videos" is a folder under the "jav-it" location, it will be considered a relative path and will be limited to a max path length of 255 characters. However if you specify your command like this:

jav-it catalog -d c:\temp\jav-it\my_videos

Then Windows won't operate under those restrictions and performs as expected. This unknown/obscure behaviour is pretty lame, but I assume Microsoft did it for some backwards compatability reason. So as a temporary workaround, try specifying absolute paths in your command and let me know if that solves your problem.  In the next version of Jav-It, I will internally convert all paths to be absolute so that regardless of how users specify it, Windows won't bug you again.

Since I don't know the original command you were using, I'm only taking a guess that this is your issue. But hopefully you can try it out and confirm for me if this helps or not! (^_^);
