Uploading .gco file from Repetier to I3 Pro B GT2560 board

When I upload a sliced up model from Repetier to the GT2560 board, and have an SD card installed in the SD card slot, the GT2560 doesn't see the file. Upon removal of the SD card and examining the files on the card in a PC it seems the file is uploaded but it has no extension. Why isn't the firmware appending the.gco to the end of the file??? If I rename the file to filename.gco and reinsert it into the GT2560 SD card slot the printer sees the file and will print it.

I figured this one out on my own... it seems Repetier doesn't automatically place the file extension onto the file name, you have to explicitly specify filename.gco adding the .gco in the filename box in the software. After I did this, files appeared in the Repetier window for SD card and on the display of the printer.

Regards.
