AR Uploader for Windows - Sample Chains and Batch Uploads

Hi jbone1313,

the “Modded 707” sample collection I mentioned in the first post has 804 wav files (I just took a look at the the 48k converted directory, hadn’t deleted that one, yet).

All files were uploaded into one directory (in one go / overnight) and I sorted the files into directories (on the AR) the next day.

I just counted them by going through all AR directories and using “select all” to show the file count.

The total count is 510 (!)

So you’re right!

Apparently there is a limitation of 512 (510?) files per directory.

Thanks a lot for noticing this !

In my case this did not cause any severe issues (e.g. file system corruption).

May I ask which firmware version your AR is running ?

I’m on 1.22b but it could very well be that I still had 1.21c installed when I did the upload – it’s already been 1.5 months since then.

By the way: If an upload did not finish b/c of this 510 files-per-directory limitation and you still have not deleted the “48k/” directory (and the filelist.txt):
Copy the “filelist.txt” to “leftovers.txt”, then edit it and remove all entries until line 511, then upload the remaining files using this cmdline:


$ cd my_sample_dir/48k
$ tks app:sds leftovers.txt -indev "$SDS_INDEV" -outdev "$SDS_OUTDEV"

Oh my, now I have to do this for all the sample packs I’ve uploaded since then… most of them have more than 510 files :wink:

Cheers!
