Having in mind game speed or may be compile errors,

Are they any limits for general long names (variable/scene/sprite...) or depth of tree folders?

I mean using: ObjectPositionVertical insread of just ObjPV (for some variable name),
or Scene_First_Time_There (for some scene/object name),
and having many folders/subfolders/subfolders for scenes/objects location,

This will end up to really long file name and location (depth Dir).
Is this a problem, for any reason?

Best regards,

File paths in Windows are limited to about 260 characters. This is probably the only limit you should be aware of (I believe some WME user hit this limit in the past).
The file paths can get quite long sometimes, especially when your project is stored in My Documents folder in Windows XP. The full path to your scene files can then look something like this:

c:\Documents and Settings\Your user name\My Documents\My Wme Projects\My Cool Game\data\scenes\SomeVeryLongSceneName\SomeVeryLongSceneName.scene

So, it is 260 characters for file paths, thanks for the answer,

But, I have a habit using rather long names for variables and objects,
Is this for any reason a problem for engine's performance (game speed)?

No, it's not a problem.
