When syncing Windows folders back/forth to/from USB drive, sometimes the Windows file system error 'Paths Too Long' can be encountered - but go unnoticed. Recommend a more serious notification of the problem at sync time so one does not end up with truncated files unknowingly. Popup Error ??

(In the year 2020, & we're still running into Path length issues. In addition to path, in total, there is also a "path segment" limit of 255 characters. So you can't have a file name [itself, or any part of a path segment] that exceeds 255 characters. And then there are funky name+path length issues too [which I have yet to fully understand]. Not to mention cross-OS differences.)
So the log file does indicate the 'Path Too Long' (what is that, Error 123) issue?
