I posted my original in the discussion forum - as below..... but perhaps I should have posted here. Hope someone can help - suggest changes etc http://sourceforge.net/p/notepad-plus/discussion/331753/thread/921e0bc7/
Details of post
========================================================================================
I just downloaded the latest version and got the above mentioned Message Box with an error message "the buffer passed to GetFullPathName was too small!"
I hit the OK button and then see a further box called "path that failed" with my long file name
I continue and the file opens as previously (i.e. before the new version installed)
The above file path is generated by MetaTrader4 (forex platform) and I am only able to change the last directory and file name. If I do shorten the file name all is fine but believe I have open similart files without problem prior to the latest version
File Name
Test_Data\My_March_EA_Data_USDJPY_27_APR_start_time_12_05.txt
I managed to attach screenshots previously but don't see any 'attach / browse' feature here
