Server Error: The specified file or folder name is too long.

[Nia]

I've gotten this error message when trying to publish a new webiste to our
Intranet. "Server error: The specified file or folder name is too long. The
URL path for all files and folders must be 260 characters or less (and no
more than 128 characters for any single file or folder name in the URL).
Please type a shorter file or folder name." I've double checked the file
names and none of them appear to reach the 260 character limit indicated.
What would be the difference between the two? Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Are you taking into account the full absolute path, as FP normal on shows you the relative path?

Does that also include the FP hidden files created if you use Themes and/or Nav bars
As a guide the _derived folder(s) filenames generated by FP can require up to 19 Extra Characters in addition to the Combined Length
of your "filename.ext" & "theme_name"

My next question is then how can I tell which file path is too long??? I've
been trying to find it and I can't. The website is very layered so trying to
find it is turning out to be very tedious. It's probably in front of my face
but I'm missing it.

I have not ideas on the best way to deal with this.
