It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 49842
interpreted = N
texte = I think I get what you're saying. This directory right now is 86 megabytes and has 4,883 files within.Just going into it to snatch 2 or 3 photos is just as significant as searching through all the filenames, since essentially NT is doing that anyways, searching through the filesnames to find the 2 or 3 I'm placing on a page etc.Is there a good number to use as a ceiling on how many files to have within a folder?
