SD Card reader does not see newest gcode file
When the card is mounted on my PC, the file is there, and has the same checksum as one exported to the local filesystem.
It is not listed by the printer, whether at the top (as the newest file), or anywhere else in the file listing.
Has anyone seen this, and know what the problem is, or have any suggestion for further diagnostics?
The printer does not recognise every character. Stick to filenames with alphanumeric characters only and it's best to avoid spaces as several of the less common ones also confuse the flesystem.
Rename your file and it should reappear.
Cheerio,

The filename is generated by prusaslicer, it contains nothing exotic:
quikfit_0.2mm_PETG_MK3S_1h3m.gcode
Is this the only file on the drive? The previous file and any directory names must also follow the rules.
There is a small chance that changing the sort order will reveal it.

It's not the only file on the drive. It's the SD that came with the printer, with the example gcode, that I've since added my own files to.
I just ran this at the SD mount point:
find . -printf '%P\n' | grep '[^a-zA-Z0-9_\.\/-]'
producing this output:
System Volume Information System Volume Information/WPSettings.dat System Volume Information/IndexerVolumeGuid
All files or directories only contain alphanumerical chars, underscore, dot/period, slash, and dash. The only thing containing spaces, is the System Volume Information directory, which is an artifact of formatting the drive exFAT. It has always been there.
I have cycled all the sort options, none of them lists the file
OK, if you want to keep them copy the Prusa files to a safe place [two reasons: to ensure they're safe if the SD is failing and to make space for the next idea,]
Delete all files from the SD and copy just yours back in.
See it now?

You write that the sd card is formatted exFAT.
The Prusa printer does not recognize that format.
The sd card must be FAT32 formatted.

Then it is FAT32, as I haven't done anything with it other than adding files to it

Cheerio,
A little late for that, the card doesn't even mount anymore. Guess I'll just have to toss it and order some new ones
Two or more small ones are better than one large one. That way you can prepare and store files while the machine is printing the previous set.
