Hi folks
even with EXCEL power queries files / paths with names longer than 266 Chars are coming out as Dos 8.3 format. Internally Windows can display properly but seems windows aps are using the old API.
Filezilla displays in Windows properly -- so why can't other Windows apps especially brand spanking new ones like EXCEL in LTSC 2021 or even in Office/365.. With some network drives now 20 TB or more long file / path names isn't a rarity any more.

Renaming a load of things is not an option !!!!.
Cheers
