FR-AV 2 Question

[-mjk-]

lol, it's not "some enigmatic software thing." Somehow the system file is being deleted. It happens with the DP-24/32 also.

But I don’t see why it should happen at all. Seems to me it’s something that should happen under the hood, with no need to trouble the user.

The machine is telling you the problem, you just have to stop theorizing and troubleshoot it.

In normal operation there is no reason for that file to be missing. It is somehow being deleted. We have seen this on the DP machines. If it's missing it will be recreated on the SD card, but the point is, it lives on the SD card.

Troubleshoot what? Nowhere in the user manual is there a description of this problem. And when this warning appears, I simply press the F4 button, the warning disappears and I’m able to record with no further interruptions. So what’s the point of this warning screen?

As for “stop theorizing and troubleshoot it,” if neither the user manual nor anyone else explain what this warning screen means, how am I supposed to troubleshoot? Forgive me for saying this, but you’re faulting me for not knowing what no one is telling me.

In fact, I’ve apparently solved the problem. Pressing F4 makes the screen go away every time, and I’m able to get on with recording. So my objection is that this warning is pointless. It requires a user action where no alternative action is possible. Software engineers have a variety of terms for such pointless steps: digital hurdle, micro-interaction friction, unnecessary complexity, user friction. All these terms describe the same thing. They’re a violation of the “Keep It Simple, Stupid” axiom for good software design.
