Proposed feature #1 - Fill the partition with a percentage of the disk space available

[roc-eab]

The * option is really useful, because it fills the remainder of an image with the final paritition. For instance, when the DH0 is 100MB the DH1 takes the rest of the space, regardless how large the image is.

Maybe I am little "old-style" but as a matter of precaution, I tend to use the 99% of the remainder of the disk to avoid "final cylinder" issues.

If you feel appropriate, would it be possible adding the possibility to fill with a given percentage (say 99%) instead of the 100% of the space?

Thank you for your consideration.

Size in percentage is already supported, but might not have been fully tested for all commands.

Current version supports for example adding a partition sized 20% of Rigid Disk Block Size: hst.imager rdb part add test.vhd DH0 PFS3 20%

Just released a fix minutes ago, that allows initializing Rigid Disk Block sized 50% of disk: hst.imager rdb init test.vhd --size 50%

Downloaded the new version 952: Works like a champ, many thanks 👍

This is the full sequence, if it could be useful to others. I use it in powershell so no issues likewise using indivual commands in the Terminal CMD, however ,if you use a DOS batch mind the "--size 99%", because batches interpret the % as its command so use --size 99%%
