Multiple "same" configuration items in config file

Hi,

if I have this in my FS-UAE/Configurations/bla.fs-uae file:

uae_filesystem2 = rw,QDH0:Eclectic:/vol1/rhialto/uae/PAm/Eclectic,0
uae_filesystem2 = rw,QDH1:Empty1:/vol1/rhialto/uae/PAm/Empty1,0
uae_filesystem2 = rw,QDH2:Empty2:/vol1/rhialto/uae/PAm/Empty2,0
uae_filesystem2 = rw,QDH3:Empty3:/vol1/rhialto/uae/PAm/Empty3,0

and I use the fs-uae-launcher to launch this setting, all but the one of these is lost. The result is that my Amiga is missing several disks.
Worse, if the launcher saves the configuration, the settings are lost permanently.

Of course I can launch fs-uae with this config file manually, but it is still a risk that the launcher will overwrite the file by accident.

The main thing that I want here is to create partitions with particular names (QDH0, etc) and the file systems in them should have the correct names as well (Eclectic, Empty1, etc).

Maybe there is another way to do this?

I have a working configuration with custom device names with four filesystems mounted, and worked just fine:

...
uae_filesystem2 = rw,XDH0:AmiSys:../amiga/drives/System,0
uae_filesystem2 = rw,XDH1:Worek:../amiga/drives/Work,0
uae_filesystem2 = rw,XDH2:home:/home/gryf,0
uae_filesystem2 = rw,XDH3:tmp:/tmp,0
...

If you can afford to give up on custom device names, and rely only on partition labels, than it would be as easy as:

hard_drive_0 = ../amiga/drives/System
hard_drive_0_label = AmiSys
hard_drive_1 = ../amiga/drives/Work
hard_drive_1_label = Worek
hard_drive_2 = $HOME
hard_drive_2_label = home
hard_drive_3 = /tmp
hard_drive_3_label = tmp

Works on Linux, tested with FS-UAE 2.8.3 and 2.9.7dev2

I'm not saying that it doesn't work, just that if the fs-uae-launcher touches it, it gets lost :-(

I think that I tried your label technique at some point. I still have some commented-out remains of it. I don't remember what didn't work with it back then.

I also got the following from somewhere but that apparently also doesn't work, although it looks promising (but it isn't in the documentation)

# uaehf3=dir,rw,QDH0:Eclectic:/vol1/rhialto/uae/PAm/Eclectic,0
# uaehf4=dir,rw,QDH1:Empty1:/vol1/rhialto/uae/PAm/Empty1,0
# uaehf5=dir,rw,QDH2:Empty2:/vol1/rhialto/uae/PAm/Empty2,0
# uaehf6=dir,rw,QDH3:Empty3:/vol1/rhialto/uae/PAm/Empty3,0

Oh, OK, I get it now. I don't bumped on such issue, since I don't use fs-uae-launcher

Haha, you're forgiven :-) At the moment I don't use it either; and that is also because it needs another version of py-Qt than some other package. For some reason both versions cannot be installed at the same time (not all files are versioned, I think).
