Failure to save image offline due to dataframe size - FileNotFoundError: [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long

bonjour Emmanuelle, merci pour votre réponse.

sorry, what do you mean by linking ? to place the link to my other posts ?

well there two things I ve noticed.

to make save image functionality work is quite hard and I don’t know why. some co worker of mine had the same issue. that’s why I use the orca call instead.
here are my other post on this issue1

Save image offline error: unable to communicate with the local orca server process

Call Orca error: FileNotFoundError: [WinError 206] The filename or extension is too long

hi, i can’t use the write_image function ( never managed to make it work. Here the post i put up there but nobody seems to know the answer.

From time to time though, it blocks on some name of file too long wich is not the case call([‘orca’, ‘graph’, json.dumps(fig1, cls=plotly.utils.PlotlyJSONEncoder), ‘-o’, ‘the_image_name’,’-d’,‘images’,’-f’,‘svg’]) File “C:\Program…

would be amazing to know . the library is fantastic.

I would be very happy to help the Plotly project with my ( very modest ) skills.

thanks!
