Hi ,
I don't know if this is a bug, but i noticed that if the file name in the sd-card is longer then 8 characters
will return file not found .
Is there a chance we could fix this please ?

Hi Alan
A long time ago, filenames had 8 characters and 3 characters for the extension as standard. I also hope that the flowcode will be able to process long file names in the future. I have been working with the Flowcode file system for a long time and it works very reliably. My suggestion for you is to use only 8 characters at the moment.
regards
Stefan

Yes sorry we are currently limited to 8.3 filenames.
I've tried a few times to support longer filenames but they are pain to do right and require A LOT more processing
.
A file with longer filename e.g. "abcdefghij.txt" will exist on the filesystem as something like this, "abcdef~1.txt".
I'll get it on the list to have another look.
