Search for long paths

Question / Problem

Can TreeSize help me find long file paths (e.g. > 255 signs)?

Answer / Solution

Yes, this can be done in several ways.

Long paths can be searched by using the "Advanced File Search" of TreeSize. The advanced search contains a list of predefined templates, including one for "Files with long paths". You can select this template on the left side of the application window.

In the main application, folders containing long paths are highlighted in red if the setting under "Tools > Options > View > Display > Show elements conatining paths > 260 chars in red" is activated.
