Any known issues with dragging and dropping archives into WinUAE?
WinUAE allows the dragging and dropping of archive files into the emulation environment (usually Workbench) which show up as hard drives that can be accessed like any other hard drive, whether it is an HDF or a Windows folder.
However, I've noticed some kind of bug when I've dragged an archive into WinUAE, which takes a while to show up, and even sometimes, a random file from the archive appears as a second drive. What's more, when I reset the Amiga, the random file remains and tries to run instead of booting WB as normal. It doesn't go away until I restart WinUAE. I don't know if this is a known issue, but I have difficulty recreating it on demand, so providing logs is difficult. It last appeared when I had two Windows folders as hard drives with around 100 files each, and dragged in a third. When it works fine, it is an extremely useful ability for an emulator, and it makes things easier, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has had odd behaviour with such activity, as I've described. |
I swear you asked an extremely similar question; and received an answer; in another one of your WinUAE support threads that you created Foebane...
Too lazy to search though. |

I recreated the error, and it turns out that my configuration used an empty Windows folder for a hard drive (which wasn't empty before) and it didn't show up on WB upon reboot. When I dragged an archive into the WB, the problems as I described them above, occurred.
I simply removed the empty hard drive from the configuration and all is now well. :) |

Yes in the most recent versions of WinUAE I also noticed a slowdown with large archives. Instead of dragging the single Archives, I copy them into a folder and share this folder, then unpack the side AmigaOS archives.
I also created shortcuts to unmount the shared folder to eject floppy disks and CDs without the need to go to the GUI with F12. |
