Generate Image assets path too long - Photoshop on macOS

No, this is simply not acceptable. We are paying our hard earned money for Adobe, and this particular problem is an issue for years, that they are unable - or rather unwilling - to solve. We are working in a professional environment, often with strict requirements regarding the workflow and filenames. Most of the time is not up to us how we name a file - is named in a certain way and stored in a certain folder for a reason. As I wrote earlier in this thread: the entire path is limited to 254 characters (on the local drive). Don't tell me that in this age this is a technical reality we need to accept, when at the same time they introduce a ton of useless, shiny features every second week. Ridiculous.

Weird thing, I open the same PSD file, and all of a sudden, Generate assets works perfectly fine

I want to add onto this to try amplify the issue. It's a big deal for me and my teams workflow as well.

As game developers we often we have to export multiple texture files out to Unity with multiple variations of texture files and Save As or Quick Export as [type] is just way to slow

Generate has saved us countless hours and allowed us to make quick iterations and maintain a clean and consisten file pipline. But the path limit really just destroys that workflow when we begin using network drives to share files. On top of that often the destination paths into the games engines can get a but long eg:
C:\Unity Projects\mygame\Assets\Art\Models\Characters\Enemies\Wraiths\Textures/Wraith_Green_Albedo_1.png

This ontop of the source destination means we encounter this error constantly. 

It really is a shame, it seems like such a weird limitation in this day and age. We're resorting to custom JS scripts to try get around it. Honeslty would be happy to share if we figure it out - But it definetly wont be as fast or clean as Generate. 

I am having this same issue HOWEVER, it randomly just started yesterday (2/1/2021) or at least that was the first day I noticed it. I have not changed my file setup on my system in any way. It worked perfectly previously and now files that used to automatically generate the assets no longer do unless I move the file to my desktop which is terribly inconvenient. Any suggestions at to why the path used to work and no longer does? My jobs folder is nested on my system but not that deep (Mactintosh HD > Useres > home > OneDrive > Jobs Folder > and then nested by Client Name and Job Name). The location of my jobs folder has not changed since I bought my computer over 2 years ago and can't since I am synced to OneDrive and do not want to have to resend invites to colleagues if I were to change the location, so I am baffled why all of a sudden files that used to work fine and are in the same location no longer generate and all new files are throwing the same error. Did Adobe shorten the length of the path they allow...do we know what the max length of the path needs to be within? This is an older thread so if they did shorten the path length i do not understand why it didnt affect me until now.
