"error: cannot open for writing" On long path windows

Hi,

I get this error error: cannot open 'very\long\path\image9.png.tmp' for writing.
I have tried to enable long path on windows but the explorer won't let me create those files manualy, but a python script can!!
I'm not sure if it's a pngquant issue or a Windows limitation.

I'm using

  • Win10 Pro V2004
  • pngquant, 2.12.0 (January 2018)

For Windows paths I use Microsoft's C standard library. It doesn't handle Unicode paths, so I'm not surprised that it doesn't handle long paths either.

I have a plan to rewrite that part in Rust, which will fix both issues.
