Path Length Checker Description
Path Length Checker is a stand-alone app that allows you to specify a root (i.e. starting) directory, and it gives you back a list of all paths (i.e. files and directories) in that root directory and their lengths. It includes features such as pattern matching and min/max length constraints, as well as the ability to specify a string that should replace the root directory in the results brought back, allowing you to quickly see path lengths if you were to move the files/folders to another location.
Download it from the Releases page.
Running via the GUI (Graphical User Interface)
To run the Path Length Checker using the GUI, run the PathLengthCheckerGUI.exe
.
Once the app is open, simply provide the Starting Directory
you want it to search and press the large Get Path Lengths...
button.
You can also drag-and-drop a directory from File Explorer onto the PathLengthCheckerGUI.exe
file to have it open up the application and search the directory automatically.
Running via the Command Line
The PathLengthChecker.exe
is the command-line alternative to the GUI. Simply run it without any parameters to see what parameters you can pass to it.
PathLengthCheckerGUI.exe
also supports the same command-line parameter syntax. Additionally, specifying the target directory alone as the only argument is supported and will begin a search on the supplied path using defaults. This is useful for launching the GUI application from other programs, such as a Windows Explorer context menu action.
Running via PowerShell
If you are looking for a PowerShell equivalent of this tool, you can use this PowerShell script that offers similar functionality.
