Scid uses MAX_PATH for the maximum allowed path length.
This isn't defined explicitly in Scid, but by the host OS/build environment.
On Linux I think PATH_MAX is now the accepted standard def,
though MAX_PATH is still ok i guess. It's all a little confusing,
and i think probably should be defined within SCID somewhere.
Anyway, sorry for not testing out the latest Scid windows build, so i can't say
exactly what the problem is. I'm guessing it *could* also be some unusual
language/utf thing, a problem with the VFAT/DOS filename translation,
or more likely, you don't have proper read/write permissions
on the new directory.
