If I try to put the photos on the root level of the compact flash card I can only put 84 photos on the card. If I try to put more than 84 photos on the card then I get a message saying the disk is full, even though Ihave more than 80mb of room remaining.But if I create a folder at the root level of the card I can put all 88photos in the folder.I tried this on a 2gb compact flash memory card, too, with the same results.Why can't I put more than 84 photos on the root level of a compact flash card?
This could be the same problem I have with the MP3 player in my car. It will only read up to 119 files in a single directory because it doesn't set aside enough memory to store more file names. My workaround is to store files in directories having 100 or so files in each one.
It has another limitation that's annoying: It will only read the first 16 characters of any file name. This means I have to have uniqueness in the first 16 characters or it gets all confused.
Since I mostly use it for listening to audiobooks and they might have several hundred short files with similar names such as "Stranger In a Strange Land 001 of 425.mp3", I have to be careful when making up the disks.
