| Summary | 0007521: FilePath: Get 8.3 formated ShortPath Filename | ||||
| Description | As in windows 7 Short path is not shown and VBS command do not work correctly. I've created small app that users tested and confirm working. It should be trivial to add small Function in MM http://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index.php/SDBFileSystem named GetShortPath(filename as String) as String that will only return ShortPath using internal Delphi ExtractShortPathName(FileName) Empty in case non-existing filename/path Note that this should be very very easy to Add and it is Risk Free. | ||||
| Additional Information | Noted by Trixmoto in http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=289047#p289047 Confimed on my app that it works in my delphi app http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=289418#p289418 | ||||

As it is risk free and only few lines of code it could be useful to add it in MM4.0 |

I'd rather see first why exactly is it needed. GetShortPath seems to work fine on my machine, tested the following code: Dim fso, f, s Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fso.GetFile("C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Help 9\dexplore.exe") s = "The short path for " & UCase(f.Name) & " " s = s & "is: " & f.ShortPath MsgBox s and it works fine. Is it just Win 7 x64? Or any other problem? |

On some installations of Windows 7, Server 2008 using NTFS HDD format indexing of short filenames is disabled it can be also disabled in XP, 2000, NT. I have not encountered this but it would be logical to disable it on external HDDs cause of speed issues. |

Ok, in case it adds some reliability, let's add the property. |
|
|
It would be most valuable when full path names are sent to external apps like Trixmoto MusicIP Tagger and we know limitations of windows command line max length. |
