Path levels
« on: September 17, 2014, 04:14:58 AM »
Do you know why RockBox (on Sansa Clip+) allows only a few levels of driectiories? And the length of path doesn't matter, for example \a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\ doesn't work, but "\dsfsdjfijsdigjdfgdfgdfgdfgdfgdfgdfgdfg\" works properly.

The situation descrived above takes place in building library, the song which has "to many" levels, are not available then in library.

Thanks in advance for help !

This is an actual limit of FAT32, not a Rockbox issue. FAT32 only allows a certain depth of a path (e.g. how far down subdirectories can go), as well as filename limitations (256 characters including path IIRC).

A Google search on FAT32 will turn up some more info on the filesystem if you're interested.
