Inserting images onto Blank ADF in empty slots #541

Closed Tallguy297 closed 3 years ago

Tallguy297 commented 3 years ago

I have seen lots of applications for the Amiga to read ADF files, mount and manipulate images but I have not seen anything to put an image back into an empty slot on a USB thumb drive using just the Amiga. I have an Amiga 600 and the only way to do this is...

Second question, I have noticed the the software selector allows you to keep on scrolling through empty slots. Is is possible to modify the software so the first empty slot becomes the last? This means that if you have 40 ADF files occupying the first 40 slots, after you select the next empty slot the cursor is sent back to the beginning of the list as apposed to scrolling through empty slot?

I don't do feature updates on the file selector. The preferred navigation methods are using an OLED display or OSD, and do direct navigation on the Gotek using buttons or rotary encoder (or Amiga keyboard, if using OSD).

For the ADF onto USB stick, with OLED/OSD there is a menu via which you can clone an ADF image, and then you could DISKCOPY/XCopy the mounted ADF image (on Amiga host) to DFn (the Gotek)? It would be no slower than directly copying the ADF into the USB stick filesystem. Maybe faster even. There is no interface currently for renaming the cloned ADF image file on the USB stick, sadly.

Do you know who does feature updates on the file selector?

I have been to the official HxC Website. There is a software selector for the Amiga which appears to be updated. However it states that the installed Gotek firmware is outdated and will not be proceed any further. FYI, I have the latest 3.29FW installed. No problems. Thank you.

The HxC file selector (that is the original version - mine is a fork!) detects and rejects FlashFloppy firmware. I haven't bothered to keep in sync to be honest.
