                  What happened?

                  The printer displaying the message: File already exists!

                  Error name: File already exists!

                  Error code: #10520

                  When initiating a transfer of files to the printer, it will detect if a file with the same name is on the internal memory.

                  There is no overwrite function.

                  How to fix it?

                  <span data-sheets-value="{"1":2,"2":"This is related to stable, beta, dev update channels. The user can switch stable<->beta in advanced settings -> firmware update. The admin interface allows to switch also to dev. This signals switch failure. Most probably the printer configuration is somehow broken. An update to latest build in the current channel or factory reset could help."}" data-sheets-userformat="{"2":33554945,"3":{"1":0},"12":0,"28":1}">Rename your file before the transfer or delete the existing file with the identical name.

                  Why is this still a thing!? Auto rename the file if it exists! OR at LEAST alert me via the App that the print it said it was uploading hasn't started...

                  I know this is a deliberate change from the previous functionality but it is an absolute pain!  I really don't care if they file already exists or not, such files are utterly temporary, I just want to print the darned thing and I've no idea what files exist on the printer and no way to find out without going and looking at it which I really don't want to have to do.  Can this "feature" either be removed or can we have a printer setting to always allow over-write please?

                  Hi Rob! Can you please try re-naming the file?
