    Was wondering what the max path length for collobrate is after getting this message?
    Do not experience this issue with the earlier version of collobrate.

    CollabProxyException: invalid path '\\?\C:\Users\alexr\Documents\those who know - game\Assets\NatureManufacture Assets\Meadow Environment Dynamic Nature\Demo Scenes\_TerrainAutoUpgrade\layer_T_forest_ground_grass_01_A_SMT_forest_ground_grass_01_N(4.000,4.000)(0.000,0.000)(0.000,0.000,0.000),0.000,0.000.terrainlayer' (path too long)

    @alexrau sorry to hear you ran into this issue. Collab doesn't have any path length, per se, however, we've found when running on some Windows machines this occurs due to a Microsoft choice to preserve a 260 character limit when using the Windows API as documented here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/fileio/naming-a-file#maximum-path-length-limitation

    As noted in the above link under a green "Tip" section, you can opt-in to the new behaviour and extend the limit by enabling the "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem LongPathsEnabled" registry key.
