USB autoloader crashes printer if USB not active when power on

[cwiegert]

quick question for all the smart ON developers. Using the USB automount feature, is that supposed to work like a thumb drive works on a normal board? Where the drive is "swapable" ?
I was testing something for someone else this evening and was able to crash my priner with the following steps on the touch screen

have my USB turned off
boot up the printer
click print
click on thd USB, it drills and shows
turn on the USB
Crash

I would have expected the USB to be there, mounted available and be able to select a file

The happy path

Have the USB powered up
turn the machine on
click print
Drill into USB
pick a file
Click confirm

print starts.

I assume an unpowered hub might just have enough power from the one USB3 port show / list the 2TB USB drive in the system?

I’ll try it with power applied to hub and see if it makes any difference Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

power to the USB hub makes no difference. steps to repo are exactly the same, with the results being a crash. The USB drive appears on the touch pad, you can select it and drill in, it shows empty. Click the back button, turn the plug the USB into the hub, and drill into the USB drive on the touch screen -- crash the printer
