Try to create new custom WorkSpace and give it a very long title
You will see an error message (like on attached screenshot)

Do we need to fix that or nobody face this issue?

What do you want to fix there? If a filename is too long for a certain file system (here NTFS I guess) there's not much we can do about it but tell the user.

A better reason might be due though (actually any reason, as none is given apparently), but I think we're lost if we don't get one from the operating system.

Actually ther dialog bix isn't given any reason to display, that ": " seems just bogus:

static void writeFailed(const QString& _path)
      {
      QString s = qApp->translate("Workspace", "Writing Workspace File\n%1\nfailed: ");
      QMessageBox::critical(mscore, qApp->translate("Workspace", "Writing Workspace File"), s.arg(_path));
      }
