Is it necessary to manually rename the assembled file or can cadius obtain the info from _FileInformation.txt? #41

Hi, I am a beginner so the answer to this question is not immediately obvious to me.

I was having trouble importing the file with cadius into a ProDOS 8 volume. The documentation and command switch list wasn't clear on the format it should take. I eventually figured out that if I want a binary file that runs from memory address $0800 then I need to name the file something like "test#060800" for cadius to properly import it into the ProDOS 8 volume.

When Merlin32 assembles a file, it generates _FileInformation.txt. If I have set ORG and TYP in the source file, shouldn't that be sufficient information to be populated and then cadius could pull out the #060800 part on its own? Thus avoiding having to name the source files names like test#060800 to avoid having to manually rename them every time?

Is it supposed to look at _FileInformation.txt?
