I’m writing this to as a place for anyone who is having the same issues as me. There is quite alot of filesystem instability on the prime. First there is UI flickering every time I switch between modes (airlock, internal, etc) it shows for a brief second files that aren’t there and then goes away. Hard to say what it is due to the speed of the flicker. Second is file discovery on the prime itself and on the pc. When putting the device in read only mode it doesn’t seem to work correctly with file discovery. Then switching to read/write mode, creating folders on the prime directly doesnt seem to work but they do on the pc end?? But then they don’t show up on the prime?? Then moving files from internal to airlock and vice-versa doesn’t seem to work either, I didn’t see the files moved on either the pc or the prime.
Basically the whole filesystem feature on there is completly borked.
UI Flickering - We are aware of this. What you see flash is a loading placeholder, but because it loads so quickly, it appears as a flash. We have ticket SFT 5571 internally to track and improve this
File discovery - We have narrowed this down to switching read/write modes whilst the device is connected to the computer via USB. If you switch whilst the device is not connected, or you remove and reconnect the device after switching, it functions as expected. Can you confirm you’re switching whilst plugged in? Also, which OS are you running?
Folders + File moving - We’ve found the issues and neither should be permitted in the Prime UI whilst in read/write mode. Everything in that scenario is managed by the connected device. We are tracking this internally on SFT 6831
Thanks for bringing these to our attention. We’ll get the fixes and improvements into an upcoming release.
What are your thoughts on updating the filesystem mode selector?? Bcause right now its a bit finicky selecting the right one since the icons are so small, maybe just 1 btn that cycles? or widen the tabbed switcher to selct the filemode??
