The Git based game studio
A collection of tools around Git to build your development pipeline without any lock in effects.
Whether you reached the path length limit on Windows by having a deep folder structure or you work in a team using Dropbox and everyone has their Dropbox folder in a different place, you can map the drive letter. This will show up next to all drives and look like an actual hard drive.
When you don’t want to rely on other software and when you are not afraid of writing commands, you can use the Windows command prompt (CMD).
You can also remove that drive by typing the following CMD command. “subst” your drive letter “:” “/D” e.g.
The “/D” deletes the mapped drive. It only removes the mapping and does not touch the folder.
If you don’t want to mess with the command line, then Anchorpoint is a suitable solution for you. Anchorpoint is a collaborative file browser that is bundled with a lot of productivity utilities.
Under “Actions”, enable “Map Folder as Drive”
Pick your drive letter and press “Map”
Anchorpoint uses the Windows API, so the effect is exactly the same. Drives are still being mapped when restarting the computer.
