            Bug ID: 476032
           Summary: Can't create profile due to lack of MAX_PATH
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: master
          Platform: Microsoft Windows
                OS: Microsoft Windows
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: wangsitan at aliyun.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When I try to create a profile (with a short simple name) in konsole, I got
this error msg:
> Profile name exceeded maximum allowed length (-6).

According to https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/877 :
> On Windows, it is done by inspecting the MAX_PATH environment variable.

I'm using Windows 10 (20H2), there is no `MAX_PATH` in env var by default. So I
set `MAX_PATH` manually, and then I can create new profile now.

I think konsole should work without MAX_PATH in env. Maybe there should be a
default value for MAX_PATH on Windows, 256 or 260 or something else?


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to settings - manage profiles - new (create a new profile)
2. Input a short simple name for the profile.
3. Click OK to save profile.


OBSERVED RESULT
Fail, and got this error msg:
> Profile name exceeded maximum allowed length (-6).


EXPECTED RESULT
A new profile should be created.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10 (20H2 19042.508)
Konsole: 23.11.70 (got from
https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Konsole_Nightly_win64/)
