> What I wonder is: PATH_MAX etc are #defines, right? Since on Windows there is a registry flag to enable much longer paths/file names. My intention is not to block this series of patches, but we might end up with restrictions in our code that do not exist on the filesystem at hand.

On windows the extended-length path is 32,767[1] characters, which is a bit unreasonable. I only skimmed those docs though.

FTR, according to lxr.kde.org KAutoSaveFile is used by kdenlive, lokalize and libkeduvocdocument.
