    Wondering why when I send a project (G-Code) to my USB it places 2 different files of the same file on the USB. I have tried both. Both seam to give the same out come that I can tell. But should I ignore one over the other?

    Thanks in advance

    As the sizes differ its probably two similarly named files but not the same file.

    Use 8.3 format file naming - Interface doesn't currently support LFN (Long File Name) to have control over what it displays. Rename it to make it clear

    8.3 filename - Wikipedia
