Re: [MiNT] fstat long filename on TOS partition



One vote for 5+3.3 shortened file names. That is the first five characters and the last three characters, and a three-character extension. This, I think, has a better chance of making a recognizeable shortened file name out of a long file name.

Hello,

Having a little problem here:

i have a program that will write long filenames. I expected that if it wrote them to my C partition, (TOS FAT 16), it will shorten the filename. The program (not mine) does some fstat, could that create problems with standard TOS partition?

As soon as I switch the C partition to VFAT, or use ext2fs partition it all works fine.

What should be the behavior when trying to write long filenames to a standard TOS partition? what should i do? Thank you
