For a Veracrypt file-hosted volume, are there any security implications of choosing NTFS vs FAT32 under Windows 10? When the file is not mounted, are there indexing traces in Windows of the filenames in the unopened volume?

That addresses my question. Thanks! I had not found that in the documentation.
