There is a crash if I add directorys and files (folderstructure) with a pathlength greater than (I guess) 260 characters.
I guess this charachterlength of 260 because if I look onto this file(pathes) from a win10-machine, the windowslimitation of 260 characters is noticeable.

    Hi Martin, how exactly do you add files with a length of 260 or more characters. The Finder only allows to create folders and files with 255 characters. If I remember correctly this is the maximum in Mac OS X / macOS (it was a lot after the transition from Mac OS 9's max character count :) Even if 260 characters aren't support, it would be nice to not make Burn crash though!!

    I add this files by drag a folder onto the Burn-Window.
    As far as I know Mac OS X/macOS supports 1024 pathlength (not filename-length).
    windows limit this to 260 characters.

    in this case, the crash is a result of the long pathlength.

    Ah path length!
    What kind of disc does Burn crash on, tried adding files to the data tab but it didn't seem to crash!
