Hi,

I've recently been running into this weird problem on my TH55 and was wondering anybody else had...

Basically, with any app, if I try to do anything to a file with a long file name in the root directory of a VFS card, I get some error like:

File error. (0x2A02)

If I try to download a longfilename'd file using SMBMate or Resco Explorer I get that problem, If I try and save or rename a file with a long file name I get that error.

If I do any of this in a subdirectory, then it's fine! Only operations in the root have that problem...

I'm not sure if this is a new thing but I don't remember ever having such an odd problem before in the many years I've had my TH55...

Suggestions/solutions would be welcome!

I thought it might be corruption but all the diagnostic tools I've tried on the card all say its okay...

fat6/12 have a limited number of root directory entries. long names take a number of entries per file. each 13 characters of file name take an entry, plus one. so a file with 12 chars takes 2 entries. 14 char names takes 3 entries, 27 char name uses 4, etc...
