DS development > libfat's "rename" and hidden files

#144707 - PypeBros - Mon Nov 05, 2007 11:08 pm

Hello all.

I was happily using FAT_rename() with the previous DKP release (19), but since i upgraded to dkp20, it seems that any attempt to rename() a file result in a ENOTSUP error. Iiuc, this means the function isn't supported (which is curious since there's a ..._rename() function in fatdir.c, afaik.

So i guess i could try to call directly the libfat's internal function, but i'd like to know if anyone has met the same problem before using such hacks.

Some other -- somewhat related -- question would be to know if someone has ever tried to manipulate the "hidden/system" bits of the FAT filesystem from libfat.

Thanks in advance.

DKP 21 is the most recent release now.

Try devkitARM r21.

devkitPPC is currently at r13.
devkitPSP is at r11.

devkitPro, being the umbrella brand under which the toolchains are released, has no version numbers.

It took me weeks to port my software from r19 to r20 a couple of monthes ago, so ...[/quote]

rename() is known to be broken in libnds-releases shipped before devkitARM r21
libfat has no bit to indicate hidden files

edit: sorry, that's devoptab that doesn't have any hidden-bit, not libfat.
