You have to understand that any music I listen to is still on CD...minor Luddite...
But when I saw the size of the download my first thought was, "Wow. 327.6 MB, $#!+!! I guess their DRM works by filling your devices so you can't download anything else."

Wow. 327.6 MB
That is just half of a CD.
Well back in the time that this technology was built, it would also be more than half of the available memory on your given mp3 player.

With this kind of path I wouldn't be surprised if it was running afoul the path length limit...
What? 32K Unicode characters? Really?
(All proper(1) Win32 file APIs that take a pathname of some sort can be called in their "W" form using the syntax "\\.\C:\A\Very\Long\Path\Already\Absolute\Without\dotdots\And\With\Backslashes.txt". The length limit on this kind of path is 32767 16-bit "wide" characters plus the terminating zero.)
(1) "'proper", meaning "Real Win32, not Win32c or Win32s".

@Tsaukpaetra Did you download the ISO and try running it in VirtualBox, or did you download the EXE installer and let it do its thing? "Remix OS" != "Remix OS Player"

Did the OS download.
Apparently the installer makes a hard disk image and copies the disc contents to it, and adds an entry to the grub uefi, which it installs.
Why use a fucking ISO format if it wasn't meant to be used as a disc then??!?!

That's a fair question. Obviously, if the call is to change to a directory, no, it won't. More generally, ".." already exists in all directories (except, for hysterical reasons, the root directory of a DOS/Windows drive) so it can't be created. The rules are more precisely expressed as "it must be a fully-parsed filename ready to use without further processing", meaning that it must be absolute, it must not have slashes since they aren't allowed and won't be converted to backslashes, ".." sequences will not be followed and neither will ".", and a few other oddments.
But in return for doing all that stuff yourself, you can go up to 32767 characters. The main place where it becomes important to use this schema is if you are dealing with a file that would be MAX_PATH characters on its own machine, but you are accessing it over the network, and the UNC gibberish is longer than the C:\ prefix on the file's machine. (And yes, you can access the root of C directly over the network:
\\machine\C$\
is the syntax you are looking for, and is definitely longer thanC:\
.)

The drive-letter-dollar shares are (if memory serves) automatically exported. Or perhaps automagically. However, they cannot be found by enumerating the machine's shared objects.
If I share
C:\
explicitly, I can call it something even longer thanc$
, but it doesn't change the fact that\\server\sharename\
is longer thanC:\
.

How are you able to see them (and
$print
) when attempting a Samba connection from a Linux machine? Windows hiding them or some sort of compatibility shenanigans?
-
@Onyx said in Audible Manager:
Windows hiding them
the shares are marked as hidden, so explorer does not enumerate them, even with hidden folders turned on (because they're not hidden folders)
SAMBA ignores the hidden directory flag in favor of the linux convention of enumerating but hiding folders that begin with a
.
, the rationale for that was basically "principle of least surprise." When it comes to hidden things in linux it's surprising to have a hidden something that does not begin with a.
, so let's not surprise our linux users.

from the tool. So samba could prefix those hidden-on-the-server files with a period, but then your access paths wouldn't work anymore. Or you'd get files which can be accessed ashidden.txt
but are only enumerated as.hidden.txt
, guaranteeing weird bugs.

teeeeeechnically correct, so long as you ignore the wierdness that happens when you throw SELinux ACLs in there.

:best_kind_of_correct.tiff:
That still doesn't quite compare to the windows hidden flag though, as that flag means a file can be listed but isn't displayed by default. SELinux might be able to make a file unlisted (as opposed to making a directory unlistable), but it can't just hide-by-default it.

@PleegWat said in Audible Manager:

GoboLinux does. Perhaps not strictly a flag as such, since it works by maintaining a list of hidden inodes rather than adding an XATTR or the like.

Does it respect the FAT/FAT32 hidden flag?
EDIT: it's a serious question. I don't have a Linux available right here where I am, so I can't tell.
-
@Steve_The_Cynic No, it does not. It does not have that flag in the API.
-
@Steve_The_Cynic said in Audible Manager:

it's Capable of doing so, it reads the XATTRS correctly, it can even manipulate them with the right utility. but
ls
and other command line tools do not respect them.IIRC the file explorer used by KDE does respect hidden XATTRS if you set the right option but it's been too long since i used KDE i'm not 100% on that

The hidden flag in FAT/FAT32 isn't an XATTR. It's a single bit in the directory entry. Does the Linux kernel translate that into an XATTR?

-shrug- hell if i know. i would assume it does if for no other reason than to present a standardized interface to userspace and leave the nasty mapping of concepts to the file system driver.
could be wrong though. can't be assed to find documentation proving me either write or wrong..
-
@Steve_The_Cynic Strictly speaking, they aren't hidden. They show up in all the APIs. Convention, however, is not to display shares ending in $. Samba ignores this convention because it's kind of dumb.
You can add more. Just stick a $ at the end of the share name when creating it.
The driveletter$ shares are automatically exported when a drive is added, but can be deleted and manipulated right from the normal management UI.
