long path names

[jtktam]

I checked the output directory and it seems to be making the pathnames extra long and some parts are not needed?

\hub \project \project name

can we shorten this to
\hub \project \

So there's this cute little... annoyance. I'm like... 95% sure that you can only have one top level root folder and that it MUST be the same as the project name, but I can't find any guarantees that that's the case so I thought it'd be safer to just have the extra path name, even though it annoys the hell out of me.

Can someone find this guarantee somewhere? Because if so, I will straight up make it ignore the top level folder.

i am running into issues with the path name limit.. i have rename my top level project to "a" and the output root path to "d:\a" in hope it would make it work

my next step is to rename the \hub \project to \h\p to "steal" back some characters

Are you running on Windows? Have you looked into the enabling of long path names? Also, the script shouldn't totally crash on that, it should just not write out the file. If it's totally crashing, that's a bug I need to fix.

[jtktam]

it pops up a dialog and complains about not able to write out the file

let me check the long path names thing

[jtktam]

also the resume doesn't seem to work for me on windows, it always restarts

Also if name of the thing you are drawing has a long name to explain what it is, this name is duplicated in the path
In this case "12 mm belt far away block belts in back"
D:/CADexp\Hub Bulltrix\Project CoreXY new\CoreXY new\Try with rails\12 mm belt far away block belts in back.f3d\12 mm belt far away block belts in back v2\Frame\Bottom plate\Fasteners 1\Screws 2.stl

Maybe could be changed to
D:/CADexp\Hub Bulltrix\Project CoreXY new\CoreXY new\Try with rails\12 mm belt far away block belts in back v2\Frame\Bottom plate\Fasteners 1\Screws 2.stl
And in folder "12 mm belt far away block belts in back" put a folder with the complete big files that are right now in the folder "12 mm belt far away block belts in back.f3d".
Something like this (follow the arrows)

And I also do not understand why the "Project CoreXY new" is needed at all.
Also maybe "Hub " can be removed?

I just replaced the "Hub" with "H" and removed the "Project xxxx" it works fine.
