We are having this issue on Windows - opening a long path in RV does not work, it says “No such file or directory”. Opening the same file in RV on Linux works fine.
The //?/UNC syntax is seemingly correct. According to this post, it appears that some operations do not support the long path syntax.
RV 2024.0.1
I probably shouldn’t answer this because I haven’t used windows in years, but what you have is not the same as the link. 2 things:
//?/UNC is not the same as \\?\UNC unless there is some magic working on the filepath from a package. Can you swap your slashes for backslashes and retest?
? is generally a 1 digit wildcard - not sure what your character should be there? If you don’t want to use the exact word, maybe * for a word with any number of characters in that place?
Thanks. Switching to backslashes might make a difference. This is not a regular expression, the question mark is part of the “special syntax” for long paths in Windows.
