This is great news! I had tons of problems last year with that and I did not know what to do about this. Doru On Sun, Aug 23, 2015 at 1:44 PM, Nicolai Hess <nicolaihess@web.de> wrote:
For those who had problems with pharo on windows and github based repositories, I built a windows vm with support for long paths:

For browsing directories with large paths (FileList or Inspect), you may need one additional change in the image (But I am not really sure about that) :
DiskStore>>initialize super initialize. maxFileNameLength := Smalltalk vm maxFilenameLength ifNil: [ 32767 ].
please test and give feedback.
This wasn't as easy as I thought, and I had to make some more changes for the file permissions (the stat-functions don't work for files with long paths). Please test other file/folder operations.
