Yes, there's some inconsistency in path naming throughout the Windows implementation. IIRC, LMS also uses 8.3 file names when it installs itself as a Windows service. Given that it's possible (and often desirable, for performance reasons) to 'disable 8.3 file names in NTFS partitions on Windows' (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/121007), I've wondered how well LMS would run on systems that don't support for it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101516 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
