I am having an issue with saving images.. They are failing when I go to Save Image As.. It seems the file name is too long? When I change the file to something shorter it will save.. I don't change the extension. This is something new today. Any advice?

This is an example of a file before I shorten the name:


File name: GP48Y46W4AANhE0.jfif
Save As Type is JPEG (*jfif)...

By chance are you saving to a thumb drive formatted as FAT32?

No straight to SSD... This is a new issue that happened today... I have been saving images for years without this problem...

This has got to do something with the folder that I am saving the images to... I have created multiple folders to save to... It will save images to an older folder and have issues with the new folder... Same file name and ext... I have created every folder the same way.. nothing different.. I have plenty space on the SSD... Is there a limit to the number of sub folders a folder can have?

Same folder? This might be some new way the site owner is using to keep images from being downloaded.

Fat32 and NTFS have the same character limit of 255 for the path to the file which includes the directory path, file name and extension, as well as each "/" and the "." before the extension.

It's the latest folder I have created today.. The same file can be saved to an older folder and the same file will give a failure to the latest folder.. But I did notice that some images/files are named with a shorter name and can be saved to the latest folder... It's weird.. something I have never seen before...

I seemed to have figured it out... It was the folder name.. I named the folders "Twitter 1 - Twitter 17" for some reason it didn't like the folders "Twitter 18" and "Twitter 19". I took Twitter off and just named the folders 18 and 19 and it saved the files... In a way y'all helped... Thanks
