SpaceObServer.SearchFilter.Properties.MinFullPathLength

Description

Use this property to include only files whose full path length is greater than a certain number of characters.

Syntax

property MinFullPathLength: <Integer>;

Example

$SOS.Filter.MinFullPathLength = 256 #PowerShell

SOS.Filter.MinFullPathLength = 256 'VBS

Only files with a full path length greater than 255 are included in the file system tree and all exports (Except for the XML export).

Remarks

Outdated Windows operating systems were not able to handle files with a full path length greater 255 correctly. Even today several programs are not able to handle such files correctly.
You can use this filter to find all "long paths" on a scanned system in order to shorten it to ensure that the files can be used correctly by all tools.
