Upload to SD on FFCP fails

General
1

Hi,
I'm using Octoprint 1.3.6 with a Flashforge Creator Pro 2016, Sailfish 7.8 on a Raspberry 3.
All seems to work until now. The files list from the SD is shown, the temperature curves are draw and updated.
The only exception uploading a file to the SD card.

The upload starts, shows the progress bar increasing but oat the end an error is thrown:

Send: M28 /DoorLockForPadLockMovingPa.x3g
Unexpected error while writing to serial port: IOError: 'Command not supported or recognized' @ comm.py:_do_send_without_checksum:2499
Changing monitoring state from 'Operational' to 'Offline: IOError: 'Command not supported or recognized'@comm.py:_do_send_without_checksum:2499'
Connection closed, closing down monitor

The entries written to octoprint.log are:

Can anyone confirm that this works on an FFCP works with Sailfish 7.8?

TIA,

To quote the "Known Issues" in the GPX plugin README:

Upload to SD doesn't work. It can't work directly because SailFish removed that feature to save bytes. Probably a good call since who wants to wait for 115200 baud when you can just plug the SD card into your PC.

Wow, that was fast! :smiley :smiley :smiley
Thank you for the feedback!

One reason for using upload is that the PC may not have an SD-reader or if the printer is far away from the design place.
I was even more surprised that the upload was that fast - assuming that the upload code still exists and only the save procedure has been deactivated.

Finally I want to add a question here: Wouldn't it be possible to deactivate the "Upload to SD" button when using GPX?

Thank you very much,
Gerhard
