Drag & Drop File Parsing Issue

[Guest]

Code: Select all

Loop, %0% {
	List1 .= %A_Index% "`n"
	Loop, Files, % %A_Index%, % "DF"
		List2 .= A_LoopFileLongPath "`n"
}
MsgBox % List1 "`n" List2

AHK: Windows 7 Output:

Code: Select all

C:\TEST_F~1.TXT
C:\TESTFI~1.TXT

C:\test_file.txt
C:\test file.txt

AHK: Windows 8/8.1/10 (unexpected) Output:

Code: Select all

C:\test_file.txt
C:\test
file.txt

C:\test_file.txt

Compiled sctipt works properly in 7/8/8.1/10:

Code: Select all

C:\test_file.txt
C:\test file.txt

C:\test_file.txt
C:\test file.txt

Not sure if this is a bug.

1. AHK Drag & Drop is enabled
2. Short Name Creation (8.3) is enabled

AutoHotkey just plays the hand it's dealt: the system passes it three parameters (C:\test_file.txt, C:\test and file.txt), so it assigns those three parameters to variables.

Anyway, I am unable to reproduce your problem with v1.1.24.02 on Windows 10.0.14393 (aka "version 1607"). I get the short names.

Maybe you are mistaken about short name creation being enabled, or it is enabled but no short name has been created for those files.

Thank you, there are no short names for those files actually. Is there a way to force short name creation for old files/folders?
