I just got my U1 the other day, today I was looking around in Fluidd & discovered all the files, printer.cfg etc including the folders are read only indicated by a little lock. You can open them in the editor but can not save any changes. I haven’t as I recall heard this mentioned here or on Reddit, has anyone else noticed this or is my U1 an odd ball. BTW I’m running the latest firmware v1.1.1

You must enable Advanced Mode under Maintenance on the printer to edit the files. This is a protection mechanism.
