I hope this is the right place to be asking this question.

I was looking for a tool that will automatically rename files/directories to be FatX compatible. However, I cannot find one, so I must assume that one does not exist.

Therefore I guess I will write a little Perl script to do this. However, that means I must know the details of what FatX requirements are.

I know files have a max length of 42 characters.

What about directories. Is there a max length for individual directories?
What about total path depth? Is there a maximum length for the sum of all of the directories in the path plus the 42 char filename?

Thanks for the help.

There are a couple that I know of.

1) MP3 FAT-X Renamer. Does files as well as MP3's.
2) PreXBoxCopyTool. This is the one I use.
3) XboxIfy. Never had much luck with this one.

Take a look at them before spending any time writing one.

think the total path depth is only 128 characters, do not know if this includes the 42... file

thanks...you all have saved me some effort. I had tried searching but couldn't find anything. Once I got the name of one of the tools from you, I was able to find several!

Thanks again.
