    Hi,
    Just trying to cut and paste some photos to a folder to use for making a calender. Have been having no problem so far but now getting this message all of a sudden and don't know where it came from. Maybe I mis hit a key cos suddenly every thumbnail has a heap of blurb underneath it as in 10 lines of code. I can't figure out how to change this and now I can't copy and paste. Google bringing up nada.The photos are from google photos.
    Thanks.

    Your filename including the path is just too long for the windows filesystem.

    Try moving the folder to your desktop, shortening the name and have another go.

    Thanks. Worked it out by renaming files but I still don't know how these long names ,- paragraphs of code- got there in first place!

    I wonder was it the address of each image as they were in Google photos?
