New files are not found (Sansa e280)

(1/1)

Hi,
I hope this has not yet been here before - at least I did not find it...
I am using a Sansa e280 with a 2GB microSD card and so far it worked very well with Rockbox, since I prefer browsing a folder structure rather than depending on a database.
Now, all of a sudden I do not find any of the files that I have on the SD card or that I put on the player itself - although I can see the folders. To make it more clear: I can browse to the SD card and I see e.g. the folder "Podcast", but it is shown to be empty. The same happens, if I copy the folder with its files to the player.
Furthermore, I cannot browse the folder MUSIC on the player.
My first suspicion was, that I accidentally took out the SD card while playing (happened in my pocket) and that screwed something like "registering the files" or so - but I have not clue... The files are there, I can see them via USB on the computer (I am using a Mac).
Does anyone know a solution? Thanks a lot!

gbl08ma:
Make sure the file browser is set to show all files, or all supported files. You can read in the manual how to check and change this setting (Hint: Options -> General Settings -> File View -> Show Files).

Oh, and I forgot to say, I don't own a Sansa, and there might be other conditioning factors. Have you checked the SD card for filesystem errors? (The Mac might be able to see damaged files better than Rockbox)

kronion:
Wow, playing around in the "File view" options helped (I did not find "Show files", but the German translation might be misleading). The MUSIC folder in / also re-appeared.
Thanks a lot, you really saved me from a very boring day of work in the lab without my podcasts :)

%edit: I still haven't got clue why this changed, let's hope it does not happen more often.
