Too long paths

[LMI2]

While I copied several STM32 projects to an optical disk, the burner SW complained about too long paths. I have not checked the results, and my own files are what matters, but the backups may need some work before copying back to IDE.

Is it possible to have simpler and shorter paths with IDE.

Compress the whole directory (or several) into a zip file or other archive, then burn the zip file to optical disk.

Even better, use a personal version control that keeps all the stuff in a single file.
