It is possible to create files that have longer path than maximum Windows path length

Together with @JKolodziejczyk and @apospieszny, we have been testing NanaZip as the final project for the Software Testing course at Jagiellonian University. Here is one of our results:

You can create files in NanaZip's explorator, whose length has more than 260 characters (Windows maximum path length). The files then are properly shown in Windows's explorer, but they cannot be opened.

Reproduction steps:

  1. Create a folder and give it a name that has 250 characters
  2. Open the folder and create inside a file with more than 10 characters in length

Expected result: There should appear an error: cannot create a file or something similar

Real result: The file gets created and its shown in Windows explorer, but it cannot be opened or deleted

Used version: NanaZip 1.0 x64 Windows 10
