LPF (Long Path Finder) is commandline utility to find files that are greater than a certain length. Windows has a path limit of 255 characters, therefore if this is exceeded it can cause potential problems and lead to an error of inaccessible file.
See MSDN [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247.aspx] for more details about the correct approach for naming files.

Re: LPF (Long Path Finder)
I realize I'm necroing an old thread, but I've been trying hard to find this program, as well as your VB scripts that this guy made. It doesn't seem possible to get stuff from ge.tt through the internet archive wayback machine. I got the programs that were on Softpedia, but does anyone know where the rest of the stuff from SoftwareSpot can be downloaded?

Unfortunately not. I wish I'd thought to mirror his site somewhere - he had a lot of great stuff that was all open source.TheGuyInShades wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 4:29 pm ... does anyone know where the rest of the stuff from SoftwareSpot can be downloaded?

Re: LPF (Long Path Finder)
That's too bad, maybe someone knows how to get in contact with him? He may still have it backed up somewhere.webfork wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 5:27 pmUnfortunately not.

Re: LPF (Long Path Finder)
It's too bad the files weren't hosted on the blog, since archive.org may have been able to mirror them. Seems the author switched between Dropbox and then ge.tt, with the latter known to delete inactive downloads after a time.
Re: LPF (Long Path Finder)
I"m not sure if this was/is the most recent LICEcap.vbs code but it was posted here. Maybe others were also posted?guinness wrote: ↑Thu Mar 29, 2012 3:44 am LICEcap was an application I was looking for, so as a small contribution to TPFC I created this VBScript to do the following. Run licecap.exe, wait for it to close and then move the INI file from the %APPDATA% folder back to the location of where licecap.exe is located. Just save this file as LiceCap.vbs (or something similar) and place next to the executable licecap.exe. Use UniExtract to extract the NSIS installer.
I will be uploading this VBScript code to my website too. [DONE]
Any problems just let me know.

Are you looking for any of the VBS files specifically? Maybe others on the forum have backups?
Re: LPF (Long Path Finder)
This may have some of the VBS scripts/info you need/want.

Yeah, he posted a couple of them there, but unfortunately he only uploaded most of them to ge.tt.thepiney wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 10:39 amI"m not sure if this was/is the most recent LICEcap.vbs code but it was posted here.

Re: LPF (Long Path Finder)
Yeah, pretty much. I guess ge.tt flagging his account as malware really killed his enthusiasm. I had never even heard of ge.tt before, but the way they obfuscate download links makes it almost impossible to find any of his stuff on the Wayback Machine.bitcoin wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:25 amhe had over 4000 posts, he just disappeared?webfork wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2019 5:27 pmUnfortunately not.
