Post subject: | hack live memory to patch mrt long path bug ? how? |
MRT has a flaw in their filecopy program - it dumps all files longer than pathmax (240 chars) into a single folder creating a giant mess. They refuse to fix it. So I was thinking it could be patched in the live memory of the running program - any hackers know how to do that? If I could find the string in memory I could just put a null in the 6th byte... ==== for background here the issue... Here we go again... 7000 files in \long path folder after 2 years of complaints MRT still refuses to fix - why? Its a simple fix - trivial - yet they refuse to do it. All it would take is 1 line of code to convert this D:\\MRT ATA0 - TOSHIBA MQ01ABD100 - 931.51 GB\\Partition 02 - NTFS - 909.56 GB\\Root to this: D:\\M A simple trivial fix that they refuse to do ( path[6]=0; \* DONE *\ ) MRT dumps all files longer than pathmax into 1 folder \long path folder, not even subfolders. They waste 80 characters of the pathname with useless information... "Partition 02 NTFS - 909.56 GB" ?? duh - no shit!... why do I need that in the path?? Is it not a problem in china because chinese language uses fewer characters? We know its not a difficult technical problem to fix - so why still no fixes? I first reported this 7/24/2015 4 updates later 150930, 160116, 160528, 161102 and they dont fix it. Did they 'forget' 4 times? I don't think so. They don't want to fix it. Is it just pride? Is it some kind of weird childish arrogance? What does it say about a company that doesn't care at all about what its customers are saying? I think it says FU customer! heres the copy log... \cf2 14:07:53 \tab File path is too long! Storage path changed automatically!
