[En-Nut-Discussion] shot filenames in nut- PHAT fs

[Ole Reinhardt]

Hi Rob,

> - did other Nut-users run into the same issue before?

Yes, I had the same problem before and postet it on the list already. I
had a timestamp as filename, and as you can think the first part was the
year and month, so it was not changing that much in short time :) Run
into the same problem. I solved it by turning the name around, starting
now with the seconds in the filename.

No.

Not yet realy. But for shure you are right. We could simply implement a
hash algorithm, but you won't be able to read the short filenames at
all. 

Perhaps we should take a side look to other free VFAT implementations...

You could send me a patch if you like. At least me, I'm interested in
it. I would then check in the patch into the development tree.
