System Volume Information folder being displayed

[LittleGem]

Hi,

Probably covered before (if so then please ignore).

The System Volume Information folder is added every time a USB file system is touched by Windows. This folder redundantly appears in the FlashFloppy display.

Perhaps it could be simply filtered out?

Sample code ...

static bool_t native_dir_next(void)
{
do {
F_readdir(&fs->dp, &fs->fp);
if (fs->fp.fname[0] == '\0')
return FALSE;
/* Skip dot files. /
if (fs->fp.fname[0] == '.')
continue;
/ Skip sys vol directory /
if ((fs->fp.fattrib & AM_DIR) && (strcmp(fs->fp.fname, "System Volume Information") == 0))
continue;
/ Allow folder navigation when LCD/OLED display is attached. */
if ((fs->fp.fattrib & AM_DIR) && (display_mode == DM_LCD_1602)
&& ((cfg.depth != 0) || strcmp(fs->fp.fname, "FF")))
break;
} while (!image_valid(&fs->fp));
return TRUE;
}

Does the folder have AM_HID set in fs->fp.fattrib? Are you able to test that (have you successfully built the firmware)?

[LittleGem]

Will check the attribute setting. Built and tested. Appears to work fine. Had the same issue with another project using fatfs-just filtered the directory from the listing in the same way. Could be made more generic by filtering hidden directories/files (already done? Haven’t checked the code too closely).

Checking the attributes in windows gives SH (system, hidden) as expected.

I will fix by filtering all hidden files & folders.

Good call. Best solution.
