Barring that this bug should still be looked into, why do you have 17,000 files in the same folder as your .dme file?
|
How does anything produce that many files in one directory?
Regarding the bug, did you have "Show all files" checked, or no? If DM attempted to show all the files I can understand why it choked. | |
I installed soft to compile some files (not related to DM, but related to game interface), but i didn't tick "Show all files" checkbox.
| |
Did you know? If you eat 17,000 apples in two hours, you will most likely explode.
The moral of the story is: Who actually thinks it's a good idea to use 17,000 files. And is it worth caring about. | |
There've been other "Encountered an improper argument" reports that I wonder if this could shed some light on, but my thought is 1) most likely not, and 2) no way am I creating 17K files to test that on. I don't think I have a single directory on my system with that many files.

I don't think I have a single directory on my system with that many files. I saw this error for the first time ever last week too. Just sayin' My directory has 1549 files | |
I managed to reproduce this issue. It doesn't seem to be about the files but rather the file path. My node_modules folder has so many subfolders in subfolders in subfolders that the path is eventually over 255 characters long.
| |
Can this be fixed in the next release? It doesn't matter if the folders are visible in the file tree, so a try/catch statement would be sufficient to fix this IMO.

Node.js has this problem in general with windows nothing specific to BYOND. https://github.com/nodejs/node-v0.x-archive/issues/6960 | |
Indeed. Quite a lot of the Windows file-related API calls have a limited number of characters they can work with, as set by the MAX_PATH value.
| |
The latest version of NodeJS fixes this issue, so this change is not really needed. Close issue? Unless Bear1ake still has a problem?
| |
this error is -also- caused by unicode making its way into the client.
