Error Message on running xlights

[Dreamin]

Hi Everyone,

I've been getting these error messages in imported sequences sometimes. The only thing I can think of is that the number of folders is the issue but that's hard to fix as I keep them under my home folder in imported. If I select Ok, I can load that sequence perfectly fine, the error about copying the file only comes up at the start so it's purely just an annoying thing.

I do keep my files in onedrive, so I'm not sure if it's a onedrive message and it just says error on the box.

Any help appreciated.

Windows has a maximum path length of 260 characters. At a rough guesstimate I reckon that you would be around that. Try dumping the stuff into a new folder c:\xlights and then renaming a few things after you get it going.

Thanks mate, I'll give it a crack. I thought that might be it.
