Long Filename Error

[dsalzman]

CanvasSync fails with extra long filenames. Ideally it would truncate the filename or just skip the file without failing.

This was my quick fix to get it working for me. On the latest Mac OSX

def _make_folder(self): """ Create a folder on the sync path if not already present """ if len(self.sync_path) >= 255: self.sync_path = self.sync_path[0:255] if not os.path.exists(self.sync_path): os.mkdir(self.sync_path)
