Marlin: Can't get SD card to work with RCBugFix

[funbobby2001]

-Ramps 1.4A; using motherboard 43
-Reprap discount full graphic smart controller
Worked fine in Marlin 1.0.2 which is the last version I had.
Controller recognizes that the card has been inserted but cannot see any of the files on the card.
Repetier host cannot see the files either, but Windows explorer can through my laptop card reader.

define SDSUPPORT

[funbobby2001]

It is

Sorry i can't reproduce the problem.
Please try frormating - low level formatting the card.
If that does not help, please append the complete Configuration.h - renamed to *.txt.

Also check the card's filesystem, we only support FAT.

[funbobby2001]

It was FAT32.
Low level formatting did not resolve the issue.

Configuration.h.txt

Your config. works with minimal changes in today's RCBugFix on my test system. (MANUAL_HOME_POSITIONS)

Check socket and card again.

[funbobby2001]

Just tried today's RCBugFix and that didn't work, so I guess it must be my board/socket.
The card reads/writes fine in Windows.

@funbobby2001 If you revert back to 1.0.2 the SD card works okay?

[funbobby2001]

I know I should try that, just been dragging my feet because I have to uninstall Arduino and reinstall an older version to upload it.

[thinkyhead]

@funbobby2001 How odd. As far as I know older versions of Marlin should compile with the current (Arduino 1.6.x) toolkit.

[Blue-Marlin]

@thinkyhead
There are several configs for 1.0.2 which do not compile with Arduino versions above 1.0.6.

Now I can't get my old 1.0.2 to compile in Arduino 1.0.5

[Blue-Marlin]

Did you reinstall u8glib in a matching version? (https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/tree/1.0.x/ArduinoAddons/Arduino_1.0.x/libraries/U8glib v1.1 then)

[funbobby2001]

Almost certainly not. LOL
As soon as my print finishes I will try again. Thx

[funbobby2001]

Progress has been made.

1.0.2 now compiles and uploads with the older u8glib using Arduino 1.6.9, so that's nice
I've discovered that all the files on my SD card, which I've successfully printed from before, now have no file extension.

Why trying to upload files with Repetier Host the file extensions seem to be stripped.
If I manually copy files to the card with the file extension then everything is good.
How is it that the files on the card worked in the past and now they do not? Weird.
Either way I will not use the host to upload anymore because it takes FOREVER.

[thinkyhead]

I haven't used the file-writing commands from a host in a very long time. We'll have to make sure we have no bugs in that code. Otherwise it could be a bug in Repetier-Host.
