Inserting additional floppies when running #53

Open Rhialto opened 9 years ago

Currently you can only add floppies to a list before actually starting fs-uae itself, and while it is running you can only swap between floppies from that list. Choosing an unforeseen floppy requires stopping and starting the emulation, which is kind of inconvenient when you're not just working with a short list of floppies which van be foreseen beforehand. A nice enhancement would be the ability to temporarily pause the emulator and choose a new floppy image.

Bumping this enhancement request.

I'm using fs-uae to run my Amiga 1200 setup and I never know ahead of time which floppies I might need. When making music I might need to swap floppies to load songs, sounds, etc which I don't have on the HD. When programming I might want to create a new executable on a new floppy.

I can of course save the fs-uae state, modify the swap list and reload the saved state but I'd rather be able to eject and insert any arbitrary disk at any time, much like on the actual Amiga.

This is also a major usability issue for me. When using the emulator for general applications, as opposed to game playing, this is a real bummer. Every tried installing an OS from floppies or browsing PD disks like this?
