For the past several OS versions I have not been able to "OPEN" or read back the default program that is in the module.

Is anyone else having this problem??

MIKE do you (or others) have any perspective on this issue ?

I went back to an older version of the OS (1.47) and can now go to the edit tab and OPEN the code without any problem so somewhere between 1.47 and the current version of OS there is a problem with the OPEN functionality.

I have several other versions of the OS so I will try and see where it started.

ver 1.60 seems to work properly
ver 1.68 seems to NOT work properly. It is hit/miss whether the OPEN button will successfully return the default code to the IDE window.

if I go back to ver 1.60 then the OPEN seems to work every time.

are others experiencing the same issues??

thanks all

Yes. Loaded latest version last night and was unable to open the default program in the editor.

Same here.

Hi,
I have the same problems with V1.81 and more problems since V1.79 with the filesystem.
V1.81 does not open at all. At first, I want to be sure, that the mistake is not
at my side, so I have the question:

What is the purpose of the .bin-files in the "Format_Flash" Folder in Github.
For flashing of the ESP-Basic main-Program (...cpp.bin) I used always the ESP flash Tool, because
it worked perfect.
I tried to flash the 512k.bin and 1M.bin as well and they start and send: "Formating"....0 or 1.
-Are these .bin files necessary to format a new filesystem or are the data only cleared?
-How to use them?
-Is the "Format-Button" under Settings the same?
-Is the (re)flashing solely with the ....cpp.file OK?
