Right. That in itself is fine, but I'd still like to have readdir

return lowercase names here then. This is sort of what I seem to

remember from Windows: files only having a total-uppercase 8.3

name were still displayed as lowercase. This is why I am all for

splitting the shortcase option. (Maybe patches speak louder but

ATM I am so into Netfilter ;)

I toyed with the hexeditor a bit and modified the FAT entry's

filename directly. (I just hope there is not any checksum?)
 * if a filename is of the form /dscf????.jpg/i, the A210 requires

   that 8.3 names be all uppercase (even in the persence of a

   freeform long name) otherwise the OSD will (explicitly) display

   "READ ERROR".
 * if the 8.3 name is, for example, DsCE1234.jpg, the OSD seems to

   be confused and displays "00000000" as the picture index.
 => So uppercase 8.3 is a hard requirement for _any_ filename.
I also looked again at the finepix.img.bz2 I made available earlier.

It has a long entry "dscf3000.jpg", but "no shortname" (i.e. an

invalid one as generated by the patch), and that is most likely the

reason that the camera ignores this file completely.

It does not display the filename, just the index number. But the

image is present/selectable, because the 8.3 name is present and is

all-uppercase (see above).

Capable or not — it only /needs/ 8.3 for DCIM operation :)
