TwinProj Exporting Errors

[HannahM06]

Describe the bug
I am trying to export my twinproj file to a folder, and receive errors in the export.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a new standard project in the TwinBasic IDE
2. Click "File>Export Project" and choose a folder to export to
3. Watch the debugging console for error info

Expected behavior
I expect my project to be exported without errors

Screenshots
See this txt file for information about the errors I have been getting:

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Windows11
• twinBASIC IDE BETA 873

Additional context
There seems to be a problem with creating folders and files. As of now it doesn't seem to be much of anything that I'll be changing(I'm exporting to track with git).

Could you post a small sample project that reproduces the issue? I tried exporting my projects to a network path \\server\folder and it worked fine... could be a permissions issue. Can you save the project itself to that path?

[HannahM06]

Yes, I can save the project itself to that path (see screenshot of folder contents where project is stored). And I have checked into permissions. I am the owner and have full control of the folder to which I am saving it. However I have not yet had IT look into it and can do so. The zip file is the sample project that gave me the errors I posted.

It seems right now that all 'empty' standard projects are having trouble with the same folders:

• ImportedTypeLibraries in *Project_Folder\SourceFiles\Packages\WinNativeCommonCtls\Packages\VBComDlg\Packages\VB\Packages\WinNativeFormsBASE\Packages\WindowsControls\Packages*

• All folders In *Project_Folder\SourceFiles\Packages\WinNativeCommonCtls\Packages\VBComDlg\Packages\VB\Packages\WinNativeFormsBASE\Packages\WindowsControls\Packages\VBA*

• All folders In *Project_Folder\SourceFiles\Packages\WinNativeCommonCtls\Packages\VBComDlg\Packages\VB\Packages\WinNativeFormsBASE\Packages\WindowsControls\Packages\VBA*

There is some png files it also seems to be having trouble with sporadically, but not consistently as these folders

[HannahM06]

FYI: IT doesn't think it would be permissions as I am owner with full control and all other folders/files are created correctly.

I believe that it is related to long file names: I believe all of those particular folder pathnames are longer than 225 characters. When I tried a repo closer to the root of the address, it worked perfectly.

[fafalone]

Ah yes that could be a problem. Even now Windows has limited API support for long file names, triply so if you want Windows 7 compatibility like the tB IDE.

IIRC 7 did some some file i/o APIs that support them if you adjust the path syntax to ??\ or something, but then network paths I dunno.

Fixed in BETA 892, thanks
