File names too long
File names too long
Tried installing the new version today, but it keeps saying files names are too long. I'm running Windows 10. Figured I'd ask about it here before I try to change every single file in the ZIP file to shorten the names. Not something I would look forward too....

Hi!
We'll look into this right away, doesn't sound good at all.
Just something, if it's the entire path + file name that exceeds win10, try unpacking it in /tmp or other short path and see where that goes!

Re: File names too long
Um, in the category of 'Why didn't I think of that?', I'll take who the heck knows for 100, Alex. Lol.
That worked. I just made a directory called C1 in the root of my C drive, and it unpacked fine there. Still, I'm sure I'm not the only one who will run into this...
Thanks!
Christ, been programming since the late '80's, and putting it in a directory with a shorter path didn't even occur to me. Can I blame it on senility? After all, I AM old enough to have been programming for, um, well, WAY too many years....

Hi!
Glad that helped, however we probably forgot to normalize the zip file, think it's called npm-flatten that tool, which chews off some characters om the paths. Thanks for the heads-up regardless, hope to hear more on what ya think of the new Studio software of ours.
Best regards

Re: File names too long
Yes, I looked into this issue in december:
https://github.com/evothings/evothings- ... issues/139
...and for some reason we missed integrating the flattening in our build script.

Re: File names too long
As far as feedback on the new software, I like what I see. Can't say I've really given it a good workout yet, but I'm a BIG FAN of the new 'login and skip the whole typing a code' thing! Thanks for that!
Oh, and for my senility thing, hows this: I misspoke when I said I've been programming since the late '80's. Just dawned on me this morning, I started in 1978. Oh well... whats a decade off here and there....

Re: File names too long
Love feedback, eh? Well, I got some for you. 
Love the new connection method!
Not having to type in a code is great, and a time saver too.
All in all I'm liking what I'm seeing in the new version.
Keep up the great work.
