Requester Bug when copying IPF to Standard ADF with X-Copy/Power Copy.
Tried both 2.3.3 and 2.4.0 Beta 12 and this bug only happens in Fullscreen mode!
I've got WinUAE setup for an A1200 workbench with my own Hard Drives running Fullscreen and noticed if I put an IPF in DF0:, create a standard ADF and put that in DF1: and then try to copy it with PowerCopy or X-COPY then WinUAE appears to 'freeze'.
What actually has happened (at least for me) is a windows requester is 'stuck' behind WinUAE and can't be displayed thus you can't click on it and renders the F12 key unuseable meaning you have to kill WinUAE via Task Manager. The requester says that the software uses a non-standard floppy disk format and you need to use a custom floppy image. I can ALT+TAB out of WinUAE but the requester vanishes when Windows desktop appears.
Using an extended ADF cures this problem but if running in Fullscreen mode it still means a standard ADF file can potentially cause WinUAE to freeze if trying to copy an IPF to it. Also, running WinUAE in Windowed mode allows the requester to be displayed so you can click on it and carry on copying, X-Copy however goes fullscreen and produces the same 'bug'. Also found out you can ALT+TAB when its 'froze' and press return to answer the invisible requester :spin
