Minor issue with Rapberry Pi HDMI after file rename
Posted: Fri Aug 29, 2025 10:03 am
Hi,
I am not sure the title says it very well, this is really just a note for potential users so they don't get caught out like I did.
I have been experimenting with the Pi HDMI output, I was having a lot of issues which did not make sense. After making modifications and changing the file name and downloading there were subtle issues which looked like I had messed the change up.
This transpired to be the screen seems to keep the last image so if you have moved an object and then renamed the file when you download it looks wrong as the previous images were still present.
I did try adding a clear screen function but that did not work, the only way around it seems to shutdown the Pi and reboot before downloading, if you just modify the file without renaming there is no issue.
Regards,
Bob
