Re: [fog-dev] Long file names on Windows
Petr Kobalíček
no problem with that. If you have time to implement this feature then
I will be pleased to include it in Fog. Honestly I didn't know that
there exist something like long file names support ;)
Of course instead of normalize() there could be function like
WinUtil::someName() to normalize path to long-path form.
