Only the shortname=winnt would create a 8.3 name when you use the filename dscfNNNN.jpg. That is why my first patch in May forced shortname_flags = VFAT_SFN_CREATE_WINNT; when the patch triggered. I think this is the only sane behaviour for a VFAT filesystem on Linux. Unfortunately it isn't the default, and at least on my Ubuntu system the automatic mounting doesn't get this right. I'd love to change the default or do an override, at least when dualnames is diabled. Hirofumi-san, what do you think? Cheers, Tridge PS: I'm assuming you actually typed "shortname=" not "shortnames=".
