Looking for software that will list file names and paths at the 255 limit, and then truncate them down if possible.

IIRC there's a way you can do it with linux that works great, but I last used it 5 years ago so... maybe it'll help your googling

@MattSpeller It may.
The trouble I'm attempting to address (without breaking people's fingers) is that they save things with super long 255+ character paths, as they use Apple products, which apparently aren't subject to this limitation.
But our Servers are.

Which of course has to be done carefully, as I don't want to break any network shares or files.

But seriously anyone know of any tools that can shorten a network path name? And not just in a terminal, but the physical path name.

to
E:\dsfbg\2314. . . . . .

@DustinB3403 my google-fu top result - never tried it

@DustinB3403 If you are using drive letters to do this, just map a drive
f: to point to

Please tell me that some of that actually makes sense to you. Orders? Invoices? Customer #'s? Don't have to explain it to me. Just tell me you understand it.
