I am working on a G310 application and did something goofy to my CF card.
I created 4 data logs with names that were larger than 8 characters. I didn't notice the effect right away, but it looks like I got a new empty folder at each update interval rather than newly appended data in a single file. Crimson never complained, and all seemed to work okay. I did wonder why I wasn't seeing historical data in two of my trend viewers
Windows didn't know what to think when I tried to delete one of them...after about ten minutes, it finally popped up a progress bar and showed that it would take eleven minutes to delete that empty folder. When it finally got done, all of them with that name were gone. I was doing this with the card mounted through windows in a running G310 with 6 (now properly named) datalogs running on intervals as fast as 5 seconds, so the speed wasn't really all that bad. I don't know how many folders were on the drive, but I suspect at least two were created every five seconds since about 9:20 am yesterday.
I should probably format the card again before I put this new system into production.
Yesterday I had a weird one with the Security User Manager but it is fixed in the latest Build 278.
Anyone else had any new or odd Crimson 3.0 quirks we should share?
