I use the 'hacked' PC-Link to transfer data from PC to my GP32, but if I try to upload directories with a lot of files (100-200), the PC-Link program often freezes.

I remember, e.g. the C64 could only handle 144 (or so) program entries on 1 disc('folder'). But on the other hand, I did a search with google for FAT12, and I found 512 as max. number of files per folder. But I never can transfer that many files (PC-Link freezes), so maybe that number is wrong at least for the GP32.

Is there a work around or should I simply don't make folders with more than 100(144?) entries?
 
Transfer them in chunks, ie 50 files at a time or so.
 
the new GP Manager Beta 2 is not in english, but it doesn't have the timeout issue that those managers have. I really like it. And its not too hard to learn to use. there are letters after the korean names for the menus. so like (F) is format, etc.
