Does GroundControl support long filenames?
Yes, although you need to be aware of some of the ramifications of this. GroundControl supports both long filenames ( that is, more than 8.3 ), and file names with spaces. You must be aware, however, that because of the way Windows itself works, if a path includes a space, the operating system may fail to behave in the manner you’d expect. Specifically, Windows will open Explorer at the directory you specify if you type in a path at the command prompt. If you type >c:\winnt Explorer will open in that directory. Now, if you also have a directory called “c:\winnt myfiles”, typing >c:\winnt myfiles will not open Explorer there, because the operating system stops at “c:\winnt”. This is an operating system issue, and it will cause problems for you in GroundControl’s RunProgram function if you pass a spaced path, and suddenly find yourself looking at Explorer instead of the program you wanted to run. To fix this at the command line, make sure you include quotes around the path: >”c:\winnt my
