Camera storage problem

[Bouloama]

I've got a HTC TyTN and a 6GB MicroSD memory card.

I was taking photos with the internal cam, I’ve set the camera to stores the photos on the MicroSD card. The card was filled with 2GB of music files. This is the problem I’ve experienced.

The camera indicates its possible to store 0 photo’s on the MicroSD card. When i delete a few music files, I had around 1700MB stored in use on the card. Now its possible to store more than 300 photos (in 3MPX format) on the card.

Is this a bug, because I had more than 4GB free space left. Could someone test this? :cool:

Believe it or not this might be a directory limitation. I had the same problem before with my O2 xda IIs. I put every single thing in the root directory.
I forget what the limit was, but as soon as I sorted my content and added them to subdirectories that I created - the problem was solved. Try that.

Thanks will test this out. I have some tomtom maps in de root, maybe thats the issue.

I added a 700MB xvid movie on my storage card and now i've got 2000 pictures to go again. I think there is some kind of limitation. The card is filled for 2500MB now.. so there is enough room voor the photos

Will try that tonight

hmmm, i think i know what the problem is: if the camera reads the free disk space the old way (32bits) the maximum free space correctly reported is 2 or 4G depending on the signed / unsigned type (remember the old problem windows had with files > 2G ?).

Thats what i thought in the first place.. thats why i posted it on the forums ;p.. maybe somebody had a fix for this issue.
