I can not insert longer name files.
Is there any solution?

If you want an answer then you will have to explain your problem - mind reading isn't part of my version of Windows!

I am using version 3.87.
OS: Windows 10.
Short name files inserting without problems.
My files names 100-150 characters.
They are unable to insert. No error. But my list is still blank.

I cannot replicate your problem.

Txt Files with names of length 104, 130 & 156 alphabetic characters can be added to the list and display correctly.

Win 10 pro
ARen 3.87 64bit

Thank you for your test.
I tested too. .TXT files are no problem over 200 characters.
But I am using for thousands of photo .PNG .JPG files (3-20MB each) with long names.
Drag and drop is unsuccessful for longer than 100 character long name files.

Drag-and-drop works for me with a 3.3MB png file with 122 character filename.

However Windows still has a maximum path length restriction of 260 characters. If your photo files are on an external drive I wonder if this may be your problem.

If so, and your Windows 10 has been updated to a recent version (1607 or later), then you can remove this restriction with a Registry or Group Policy edit.
