name of file too long - could not load dictionary

Kind Sirs and Ladies

I had a little problem with loading a dictionary.

I could enter the source, but the dictionary didn't appear in the list of dictionaries.

I don't know if it matters, but it was in an 8th level sub-directory. I had a hunch that the file name was too long and shortened it. That fixed the problem.

Kind Regards

Typically there isn't much GoldenDict could do here, since typically the length limitations are imposed by the OS itself.

I used PathTooDeep. And was very pleased with its performance. Long Path Tool is awesome to get rid on your long path files. Good luck!
