Similar problems with Windows offline files. Because it's possible to synch files to a deeper path, one can run into problems. It will try to do it and complain about an invalid parameter.

I'd like the ZEP too. I the past it's been suggested that I use Control+Batch to save the full paths to a file, then analyse that by reading it into Excel and creating a formula to show the string length, then sorting by that column.
