Hi,
Had the same problem, although the metadata were already inside the files (so I didn't have to keep the filename). I was stuck at 10 000 books (converted word/odt/pdf and some gutenberg).
Used Antrenamer to:
- add a number at the end of each file (as a unique 5 digit ID) using the "enumeration" function,
- strip the end of the file name except the first 8 characters (usually the author,'s name) to keep an alphabetical order,
- replace accented characters in one single move (é->e; ï->i; '->_ ...)
This way I could go to 11 700 files at the root of the sdcard. As my filename schema is still longer than the short 8.3 structure, I guess my limit will be around 32000 files instead of the 65000 normal limit of fat32.
Other NOT working solution:
1) tried to format as exfat (fat64) : not recognised.
A pity because this way I could have kept the long filenames.
Hope this helps
François
