Defraggler Selected Folder Defrag aborts - Manually Discovered it happens when folder path name is very long, but can defrag files inside folder
Interesting bug.
I get issues with some of these folders with long Paths, but I can right click and Defrag the files inside.
Is this a bug / limitation or has been fixed?
E.g. When I right click and select this Folder/ Path or its Parent path - REHAB the Defrag aborts.
But doing the same for FILES within this folder works.
I thought it was a Disk/ CHKDKS issue but its not from testing that. Only happens for longer paths, not shorter ones.

a lot of programs have the 256 character limitation when dealing with long folder and file names.
my backup software suffers from this short-coming.
usually the solution is to use the UNC standard (\\?\) when typing the whole path name but obviously this is not possible in a 'closed' program like DF.
I'd rename the folder to a shorter length, since it won't just be Defraggler that has issues with such a long path/file name but is a Windows limitation itself.
