New disk swapper logic for WinUAE

It would be great if there was a new disk swapper list using different logic to swap disks.

For example, let there be a game X which has 4 disks.

Now, if X supports only one disk drive (DF0), then you could create the following swapper list:

1: X_(disk1).adf DF0:
2: X_(disk2).adf DF0:
3: X_(disk3).adf DF0:
4: X_(disk4).adf DF0:

Now, when you press Ctrl + 2 (for example), X_(disk2).adf is inserted to DF0 (if there was a disk in the drive, it's automatically removed before the new one is inserted, of course). When the game asks for the disk 3, you can press Ctrl + 3. When the disk 1 is needed, you can simply press Ctrl + 1, and so on. (No need to open GUI or anything.)

What could be faster, simplier, and easier to use?

If X would support two disk drivers, you could create the following list:

1: X_(disk1).adf DF0:
2: X_(disk2).adf DF1:
3: X_(disk3).adf DF0:
4: X_(disk4).adf DF1:

Now the disks 1 and 3 would use DF0 and the others DF1. You can optimize the usage of the disk drives depending on how a game will use its disks.

Following key shortcuts are already available:

END+1-0 (not numeric keypad) = insert image from swapper slot 1-10
END+SHIFT+1-0 = insert image from swapper slot 11-20
END+CTRL+1-4 = select drive

END has to be used because default shortcuts must not be "visible" to emulated program and must not override existing keys.

So there

Thanks! Works fine (how I have missed that one?...).

However, when I tried it the first time, there was a little bug. It happened as follows:

First I tried Chaos Engine 2. I put the three disks to the disk swapper and started the game. I happened to use a wrong configuration for the game, so it guru meditated.

Then I loaded ECS 1.2 configuration and put the two disks of Chaos Engine 1 to the disk swapper, etc, and reseted the Amiga. CE1 loaded ok, but pressing END+2 didn't insert the disk 2 of CE1, but the disk 1 of CE2... Actually END+1 did the same thing. (I may had pressed END+1 while testing CE2, which now causes the incorrect disk to be inserted, for some reason.)

Then I closed WinUAE and restarted it: disk swapper worked ok. So, this seems to be very minor issue, (maybe) not worth of investigation.
