I recently changed my Win7/Mac OS X shared partition from fat32 to ntfs. Why? Because I think the file names used by Mac OS X didn't get along with the filesystem too well, and everytime I booted Win7 up, it said the disc needed scanning/verifying/repairing. This recently resulted in me losing some photos I unfortunately did not have backups of.
I read about ntfs having better filename support so converted it. I already had ntfs-3g installed on the Mac side, so knew I was able to read and write to the partition.
This has worked much better so far in terms of Win7 no longer thinking it's corrupt, but the problem now is that iPhoto does not display thumbails!
Obviously that's not idea!
Does anyone know why this might be or if there's a way around it? If it can read and write to the ntfs partition and otherwise seems to function just fine, why would thumbnails be such an issue?
Does anyone have a similar setup? Or perhaps using some other software?
