Extracting ST4 files- "path too long"

[ruffsongs]

Hello all,
I downloaded the ST4 files, but am thus far unable to extract them- I'm getting a "path too long" error. Running Windows 10 Home Edition. Anyone else encountered this?

OK, per Google search...I needed to "enable long paths" in the registry editor. Would recommend filing a ticket if others are not comfortable doing that.

Back in the day before I became a Mac guy, this was an issue I faced many times, especially those who love long folder and file names. This has been an issue since Windows started integrating .zip compression into the OS.

The open source, community supported utility 7-Zip does not have this limitation, and it supports opening .rar and even Apple's .dmg (Disk Image) files. Quick installation, free, no ads, etc. since it's open source.
