  • vfb save path too long

    ..sooo, i didn't quite know if this should go under wishlist or problems (or bad search skills), but here goes;

    how come the path and filename output box in VFB is so small? the server path that stores our renders is too long for vfb to display all of it - it just crops the last important part like the name of the file being saved.

    i just came to work this morning, finding that one of the later bacburner jobs had actually overwritten the renders of a previous job. and of course it was that big ass job that deadlines in a few days.

    Funny thing is that last night, i had a feeling there was something wrong with some filename somewhere, but it was getting very late, and redoing all savepaths over again was just too much...unfortunately

    i must be missing something, no? any way of increasing the size of VFB path box?

    How long is it actually? Windows allows only 256 characters for the path and file name in total; I think the V-Ray VFB was designed to work with 512 characters.

      well the unc paths (or what do i call it) vary a lot, but this one in particular is about 130 chars long including the filename. shouldn't be any restrictions, because i can barely see the top of the last part of the path, only just not enough to make out the important bit, have a look here :



      can the 'wrap-to-box' be turned off or something?
