W10 Testing New Long Path Extension Tips?

[gene098]

Hey guys,

I upgraded to Win 10 today and had enabled the Long Path in Group Policy to see if its really true that Windows 10 can go beyond the 260 char limit.

But When I tried copying a folder from my computer to my Sea Gate external drive, it wouldnt copy still and had the same problem of being too long.

Heres a picture

The Long Path fix is only for manifested win32 applications and requires support from the application itself to recognize this relatively new feature. Windows Explorer is unfortunately not one of those that recognize long paths yet.
