Prevent Prusa XL from selecting the latest print on the USB
Running a Prusa XL 5 tool head with 6.2.0-alpha2. (suggested by Prusa support for an issue with occasional USB file errors during prints)
Slicing with Prusa Slicer 2.9.0-alpha1, sending prints via Prusa Connect.
When I finish a print and click "Home", instead of going home, it brings up what I believe is the latest file on the USB stick, as though I had just plugged in the USB stick. I seem to remember there being a way to tell it to not do this, but I've clicked through the UI several times and I think been to all the menus, but I can't find it. Sometimes that file is what I just printed, sometimes it's something that I had printed earlier and I had selected something already on the USB for printing.
Either way, it doesn't just let me go to the home screen, and without fail, I never want to print the file it suggests.
Is there a way to turn this off? I did recently change file ordering from date to time, but I'm not sure if this happened around the same time, and you'd expect the behavior to switch off when going to name sorting. I've also got MK4S, MK3.5, and Mini printers and none of them do this. None of those are on alpha firmware, I only installed that at Prusa support's request. Looked at the firmware release notes and don't see anything that looks relevant, so I don't think this is a 6.2.0 thing.
Anyone know how to stop the auto-selection?

I've never seen my XL do this (but I've sure seen quite a few USB errors 🥲) so I suspect this might well be caused by the alpha software.

Okay I take this back. I just checked and I'm running the same version so that can't be it.

Thanks for the reply. On 6.2.2 now so it's not the alpha software. Contacted Prusa support and they said "that's just what it does" which is super.

I put all of my files in folders on the USB so there are no .gcode files at the root. That seems to inadvertently prevent the popup when I insert the USB drive, maybe it would stop your issue as well.

Huh, interesting. Might have to try that, problem is I upload from Connect and that seems to ignore the directory structure. Don't think you can upload to a subdir from the connect upload page. But, it's worth trying - thank you!
