Hey I have been trying to use the generator image asset tool, my artboard name is slightly long e.g
DK-abc-commweb-bnr-con-mgs1, however it needs to be this long for work purposes. Previously it didn't seem to be a problem however now when I save and check the assets folder I am told the path is too long. It seems to allow less and less as I go on, any ideas why this is or how to resolve it?

Curious how many characters the path is, which would be the entire file system path to the assets folder plus the file names/extensions.

 

Try generating to a directory closer to the root of your drive to shorten the path while retaining the required name.

 

Good luck!

Complain to Apple and Microsoft about file naming constraints. I don't know what else to say.

This is not an issue with the operating system, but with Adobe. Again, other Adobe apps, including linked objects in Photoshop itself do not have a problem with file paths. It's only this singular function of generating image assets that has the issue.

Exactly. Also this problem was not existing in the early years of Image Assets, or at least I haven't run into it before 2020/21.
