Replying for prosperity sake:
I tried several alternatives to windows Microsoft File Explorer including Explorer++ The integration is not seamless.
The long path limit is too low just 266 or 254 or soemthing
Lastly, I am cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs

That’s what I do but it’s not practical anymore.
Apparently, there is still nothing, except Linux.
But I am stuck on windows, and my brain can’t handle dual boot stuff.
I constantly reach the limit, and I have MCI (memory issues) ans I need long path.
I wish if folders in windows could have like a metadata tags like description and search tags and I could view the description by tool tips
And years ago.
I found a solution BUT it wasn’t robust enough.

From Youtube and Google.
I see that long path limit can be turn off, but not in File explorer.
Is there a way to enable long path in File Explorer or an open source software to use as a file explorer replacement that is seamless?
I don’t care about software incompatibility, I could move some file manually and open in softwares that doesn’t support long path.
I am sorry, I must!
