Yay, a docs arms race! :-) I'll raise you one: http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/download/hardware/fatgen103.pdf This document, "FAT32 File System Specification", states as the only requirement that "the short name is automatically generated from the long name in such a way that it does not collide with an existing short name". > Long File Name Support in Windows 98 That document is a description how Windows 98 creates short filenames, not a fat32 filesystem specification. > But this does affect the ability to open the file from WIndoes 98, and it > also confuses JBSync when it sees a new playlist created by RockBox. Interesting. We've done it this way since november and you are the first to even notice it. > it is worthy of it's own bug report. Only if you can convince me that I am actually violating the specification and not just doing it differently than the win98 code. -- BjörnReceived on 2003-04-24 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
