Handling Long Paths on Windows (was FileNotFoundError: [WinError 206])
I'm trying to install a package but got this error:
reloading /D/WebFront/GitHubs/SublimeText-Dev-Env/Builds/Sublime Text Build 3083 x64/Data/Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings
Exception in thread Thread-6:

It seems to be an issue with too long path name. had anyone the same problem?
The package I tried to install is loaded as an ignored package and creates errors when trying to use it.
PS: I use sublime Text 3 64 bits official paid version
Thank you for helping
Sounds like an incompatibility between the package and your OS. I don't think there is much PC can do about it.
Probably the simplest solution is move your ST install to a folder with a shorter path so you are less likely to hit the 256 char path limit in Windows.
I don't think an external software is the solution. how this could help package control to handle too long path?
It seems that all path operations on Windows dealing with longs paths would need to prefix the path with \\?\. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1880321/why-does-the-260-character-path-length-limit-exist-in-windows
