Profile process matching does not support "8.3 filename" in path #1794

Description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3_filename

Processes on Windows may have a target location path that contains one or more short filenames. A custom app profile that matches on a path containing a 8.3 filename is ignored; instead a new profile is automatically created for the app - specifying the full/long name does not work either.
