| DeleteFile failure on long paths. | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 8/3/2012 Tags: win32api | Symptom: DeleteFile fails with ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND (3) when passed a path with a length greater than 260 characters.
This manifested for me when I copied a Windows XP home folder to a backup drive. The "Temporary Internet File" folder contains a lot of files with very long names. When you put those in a sub-folder with a long name, the total path length of those files tips over the 260 character limit. At that point Windows Explorer just fails to do anything useful on those files. In my case I just want to delete them. So I was poking around with i.File in an attempt to work out why these files can't be deleted. Turns out DeleteFile simply fails with super long paths. The way around this is to share the drive with the long paths on it. Then map a drive to a deep sub-folder to reduce the file's path length to under 260 characters. THEN delete it using traditional methods. |

| Mac OS X Software Update fails to update installed application. | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 20/2/2012 Tags: macosx | I've just managed to "fix" an issue that I was seeing on 10.6 where Software
Update would not update Logic Express. According to Software Update, Logic
wasn't even installed, however the app was there in /Applications and would
run fine. It seems that getting Software Update to re-scan that app is as simple as renaming the app. I changed the name of Logic Express from "Logic Express 9.0.1" to just "Logic Express", ran Software Update again and the latest release for Logic magically appeared. Hmmm. So the next time Software Update is ignoring your installed apps you know what to do! |

| Wrapping Up Controller Testing | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 20/6/2011 Tags: axefx | So in the last few days I've finished the controller test
board, ironed out a few bugs in the firmware code, hooked up
the midi ports and tested that they are sending and
receiving
the right data. The board looks like it's doing all the
things it's meant too. Which means I can now start moving
ahead on making the kit available. What's left to do is
write
up the documentation of how to build a kit from the parts
and
PCB and work out the business details, like shipping
weights/costs and a purchase page. Today I also printed out the new graphics that are laid out for the Hammond box and checked them for accuracy. 
It's sitting next to the prototype box, which is a different aspect ratio. The plan is to get someone to print it out onto adhesive backed vinyl and then stick it straight onto the aluminium, cut the holes out with a hobby knife and then poke all the pots, switches and LED's through. There are some more knobs coming from the UK for both my own controller and the kits. |
