16x4 LCD not showing up properly #1183

Closed a4jp-com closed 9 years ago

a4jp-com commented 9 years ago

Is there anyway to get a 16x4 LCD display showing up data properly? My file names are shorter than 8 characters because of a tilde mark and number. Short names also show extra characters.

Fat16 is limited to names in "8.3" format, which is what you're seeing. There is a way to store longer file names that computers use transparently, but Marlin needs to do a lookup to find that additional information to be able to display it. There's currently a pull request in the queue to add this functionality. https://github.com/ErikZalm/Marlin/pull/1182

How long does it take for pull requests to get through. This would be great ^^

File names need to be upper case 8.3 if you want them to display without the ~ and digits.

not if the mentioned pull request is merged...

but sadly it cant be merged automatic, something that i cant figure is conflicting

boelle commented 9 years ago

but nopehead is also right... data are in fact showing up right, marlin picks the short filename which windows stores along with the long filename

a4jp-com commented 9 years ago

It will be fantastic if you can get the code working Boelle. After I get my 3D printer back in about a week I will be flashing the firmware so I hope I can help get everything working smoothly.

The code is in fact working as it should... What happen when you create a file in windows that for most it will just create a file... but what it also does is creating a filename with 8+3 char's.... this is just done in the background and not seen, try open a command prompt and type dir *. /x you will then see those short filenames...

In all "FAT" file systems all the files have 8+3 file names. Windows will add an extended attribute to files that contains the longer file name if needed.

Most desktop computers use NTFS on their hard drives and that is a completely flat file system with file names and folders all recorded in a data base rather than with the files. It is a very different kitty kat.
