Question
Some catalog can use long file path, but some cannot.

Hello everyone,
I have this strange issue. I worked with a catalog from 2022 today, and after my work is done, I tried to close it, but it won't do the catalog backup, saying the file path would exceed the max length for the OS. But I have other catalogs in folders that contains longer file path, and they backup just fine. I was thinking this could be an issue with older LR catalog, so I created a new one and imported from the old one but it is still the same issue. I am running Windows 11 Pro.
I have enabled Win32 long paths from gpedit.msc, and still having problems.
I have many other catalogs with longer filenames, and they work and backup fine.
Please advise.
