Handling of long paths

Open andrew-sumner opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

I'm getting this error with one of the files I'm extracting:

The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

I had expected this would behave like 7zip but it:

  • is significantly slower on large files: 6:13 vs 1:47 on file I was testing
  • doesn't handle long paths.

I'm running a script in Powershell 4 and using vs 1.8.0 of the module.
