English Amiga Board - View Single Post - PackDev (.pkd) image support for PC disks?

There was 2 problems, pkd always unpacked to Amiga DD size (There are Amiga .dsq images that are smaller than DD for some reason), now it only pads size to 880k if header information has surfaces==2 and sectors==11.

Second problem was name of image, only known extensions use size based heuristics to detect the type (if size is 720K = DOS disk and so on). Now it also checks "internal" generated name (PC_3.5_DD.pkd unpacked memory "file" is named as PC_3.5_DD.pkd.adf) if it has known extension.

btw, your images are interesting, they have surfaces==1 and sectors==2*real value. I guess there was no standard..
