Re: [MiNT] Bug in FATFS



Hi!

Well, IMHO the newfatfs should be compatible (from the user/app perspective) to the old TOSFS (not counting obvious bugs, of course).

So... users were used to that only a single filename extension is used no matter what is behind. IMO the newfatfs should handle that the same way.

And in case there is a trailing '.' than it is the same as the same filename without extension.

remember: all this applies for pure 8+3 filesystems only.

Hello!

This looks like another problem presented by GFA editor which adds ".GFA" to the name even when it already contains an extension and therefore it is not found also on NEWFATS non-VFAT 8+3 partitions.

Isn't it a time to fix that? ;)


I don't understand how this is related to Konrad's problem. If GFA editor mean it need to construct esoteric filenames that don't exist it's a problem of the editor. Or what do you mean here?
