Limitation on file path longer than 260 characters during the publication stage

Question

Hi,

Does anyone know how to work around the limitation on file path longer than 260 characters during the publication stage ?

For example :

When "andsearch_nomark.png" is copied from :

C:\Projets RoboHelp\Tests\ImbricationSousProjets\SousProjet5\!SSL!\Responsive_HTML5\mergedProjects\SousProjet6\mergedProjects\SousProjet7\mergedProjects\SousProjet8\mergedProjects\SousProjet9\template\Azure_Blue

to :

C:\Projets RoboHelp\Tests\ImbricationSousProjets\SousProjet4\!SSL!\Responsive_HTML5\mergedProjects\SousProjet5\mergedProjects\SousProjet6\mergedProjects\SousProjet7\mergedProjects\SousProjet8\mergedProjects\SousProjet9\template\Azure_Blue

--> it's ok

But when "back_mobile_filter.png" is copied from :

C:\Projets RoboHelp\Tests\ImbricationSousProjets\SousProjet5\!SSL!\Responsive_HTML5\mergedProjects\SousProjet6\mergedProjects\SousProjet7\mergedProjects\SousProjet8\mergedProjects\SousProjet9\template\Azure_Blue

to :

C:\Projets RoboHelp\Tests\ImbricationSousProjets\SousProjet4\!SSL!\Responsive_HTML5\mergedProjects\SousProjet5\mergedProjects\SousProjet6\mergedProjects\SousProjet7\mergedProjects\SousProjet8\mergedProjects\SousProjet9\template\Azure_Blue

--> it's not ok because destination file path is longer than 260

We get following errors :

> La publication a été annulée.

> Le chemin d'accès spécifié est introuvable.

Nope - you need to keep everything as short as you can.

I typically generate my output to a separate folder at the same level as my projects like:c:\my_projects\_{c:\my_outputs\}
