FAT32 Library changes (v3.2.1.0)

#1 Post by marcus » 11 Jun 2018 13:05

In the latest update of the FAT32 Library (v3.2.1.0), the output of FAT32_Dir() has been changed - from "C:\DIR0\DIR1" to "SDCARD-NAME:\DIR0\DIR1".

I fail to see what this achieves, apart from breaking everyone's existing code, and making the directory parsing harder and slower since there is an unknown, variable length string instead of char 'C'.

The output of all the FAT32_ library functions is not for people to look at - our programs are processing them. Please consider carefully next time before making changes which break backward compatibility.

Hi,

I apologize for the inconvenience, I will notify our developers about your complaint.

As a solution, you can omit the partition name upon formatting the SD card and the output will be C:\.

Regards,
Filip.
