Considering the information below regarding the restrictions on a Fat32 partition. The question has arisen so a clarification regarding the wording of the files is necessary.
So, suppose you have a parent folder which contains no files but many child folders, approx. 660.
Each one of those child folders contains 100 files. Therefore total files are 66,000.
The clarification needs to be as to what exactly is meant by "single folder" so that it could be determined if the 66,000 files contained in the child folders would cause any of the limitations below to be exceeded. Or another way to put it, do the number of files in the child folders count toward the parent folder limitations?
Might sound a little strange, but I have a scanner radio which seems to have problems when the number of recorded audio files on the microSD card gets close to 60,000 in those child folders, even though the "Single Child Folders" only have 100 each.
Just thought someone might be bored...
Thanks...
