On the Syncthing version for Windows 1.20.4 when I try - from Windows to add a new device, not being able to use the camera of the laptop that is not managed by Syncthyng, I have to enter the string of 56 characters in the “Device Name” box.
Despite having typed the string correctly, I get - always - the error of typing a string that is too long.
In fact, going back with the back-space and deleting some characters, the error disappears, but obviously the string at this point is no longer correct.
I have the same error also when deleting the dashes that divide the groups of seven characters.
I can complete the pairing by operating from the other device and using the camera (which works from Syncthing for android) to frame the QR code.
Why am I getting an error having typed the correct string? I can’t imagine where I’m wrong. . .
