How to Create .info Files?

AmigaFan · 24 January 2009, 21:23

How can I create .info files for folders that were created on a CF with a PC (so I don't have to make them "visible" again each time I restart my Amiga 1200)? Is there a way to create those files on a Windows PC? Sorry if this sounds stupid; I only started using WB 3.1 a few weeks ago.

I dont know, if a tool for windows exists.
There are a few for amiga, but i dont use any.
If i need an .info-file for a folder, i simple take an .info-file from another folder, copy it to RAM: ,rename it to the folders name and copy it back.

IconEdit, included in yoru Workbench disks, will do this for you, too.
Also, disk manager toold like Directory Opus and DirWork, many times include an "Add Icon" function.

But easiest method is mai's.

Newdrawer works fine too, if you are really lazy.
