I just installed 10.0 "Dharma" on a machine running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and it's been working rather well, except for one irritating hiccough. I noticed that there were a few files that it couldn't play, and after a little fiddling around, realized it had to do with the path length. If I had to bet, it can't deal with paths longer than 255 characters. The files themselves don't have long names, but they are nested quite deep, and merely copying them closer to the root directory renders them playable.
The obvious fix is to shorten the path or move the files, however, I'd really rather not do that. It shouldn't be necessary, and other programs have been able to access the files just fine.
Is there an option or a fix that I'm unaware of? Thanks in advance.
