Enable Long Paths in Windows 10 for Rhapsody

We are faced windows long path issue.

As our models get more complex, the artifact names get longer and the package hierarchy gets deeper.
To avoid name collisions and editing conflicts, we try to split units as much as possible and maintain the hierarchical structure.

I found out from Microsoft's https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation page that the long path problem is workable in windows 10. I have found that problem can be avoided in windows 10.

In order to solve this problem, it was mentioned that you have to opt in two things: the repository and the application manifest.
I've configured the repository, but the application manifest setting doesn't seem to match and won't take effect.

Please help me solve the long path problem, including the application manifest setting.

    There is a simple workaround by using Logical paths. We will still keep this request in the backlog though.

    Thanks!
