When saving a screenshot, very long paths can cause the file to not be saved because the maximum length of characters for a path is exceeded under Windows. At this point Greenshot gives an unhandled error message with an exception:
System.IO.PathTooLongException Message: The specified path and / or file name is too long. The fully qualified filename must be shorter than 260 characters and the pathname shorter than 248 characters.
It would be desirable if Greenshot already checked automatically when entering the file name or clicking on the Save button in the "Save As" dialog, how long the complete path including file name is. If the complete path is too long, a message should be displayed to shorten the path or the file name. But under no circumstances may or should Greenshot eject a System.IO.PathTooLongException error message.
Exception: System.IO.PathTooLongException Message: Der angegebene Pfad und/oder Dateiname ist zu lang. Der vollständig qualifizierte Dateiname muss kürzer als 260 Zeichen und der Pfadname kürzer als 248 Zeichen sein.
