SD Card Folders question (rokicki)
rokicki,
Did you ever get folders working for the SD card drivers?· I'm working on some code for backing up TI calculators via the Prop to an SD card, and replicating the folder structure would be desirable.· If not I'll work on a different approach, but I thought I'd ask before proceding.
Thanks

No, haven't even started yet; you're the first person to explicitly ask.
It actually shouldn't be too hard. The usual issues apply, however; for those that
don't need folder support, it would just make the code larger. There's no good way
to do conditional compilation yet. (There are some "okay" ways and I may adopt
those.)
I would not expect it to happen soon, but if people ask it will definitely happen.

Because memory might be a factor in some situations, would it be possible to
"cd" into a folder and have the setting hold even after the new .spin program is run?
(Example: I'm using Femto to launch other binaries from SD.)
I like the idea of conditional compile on this..

The comments and code above are proof that a million monkeys with a million propeller chips *could* write Shakespeare!
Yeah, folder support would be excellent, especially with my bootloader, which lets you select a file from SD, it also allows the PC to send files through prop to SD [noparse]:)[/noparse] so no more removal and re-insertion of SD. ( unless your sending LOADSA large files, then it's prolly quicker, but you now have an option [noparse]:)[/noparse] )
Either that ( or / and [noparse]:)[/noparse] ) a seek function would be great, could mean multiple data files merged into larger files [noparse]:)[/noparse]
