order of files on the SD card

[duvdev]

Hi all,

Not an urgent problem but a vey annoying one:
Can I vhange the order of the files on the sd card so when I insert the sd to the printer I will see the newest files first ( on the top )?

Thanks

I want this too! When you've got 100+ files on the card, when you add a file, it's obviously what you want to print next. It's almost guaranteed that you'll have to scroll to the very bottom every time that you do it.

I can't imagine that it would be very hard to invert the file list in the Arduino program, as long as it's not something inherent to the file system on the card that's not editable, it's probably as simple as changing a true flag to false or something like that. I still don't know where to put semi-colons and where not to put them, so hopefully somebody with some real programming smarts can jump in and save the day!

I fixed this by ordering micro SD card adapters for every one of my old phone micro sd cards, now i just cycle through sd cards and delete stuff as I go

Don't forget that you can use subdirectories.
