Icon renaming wont save

A1200_Tek · 23 January 2022, 19:06

Greetings,
I have posted in the intro section first before asking something here. Ok, I have bought Amiga Forever and loaded WinUAE. I am basically setting up my 1200 for the moment with a Zeb Elwood WHDload image. Per instructions, all he requires is to the user to make a kickstrarts directory in Devs and add the ROMS.
I have a virtual 1200 and booted from the Zeb CF card image. I have been able to bring up and add a linkable windows directory that has the ROMS.
The ROMS drive came up in Workbench. I dragged the ROMS to a newly made icon (Unnamed1) in Devs. The problem is when I go to rename the "Unnamed1" icon to kicketarts, it is not changing it.
It appears that the Read/Write is all enabled. I'm sure it's a setting or something minor. Has anyone run across this before?
Thanks!!

Update:
I was finally able to rename the drawer by partially erasing the Unnamed1 name and typing something new in there. Now it saves. However, when I try to name it Kickstarts, the workbench windows will flash dark grey and not change it. I tried changing it to Kicktartz and it will accept that. Almost as if Kickstarts exists already somewhere. it doesn't complain that there may be a Kickstarts "Duplicate".
This is just so that WHDload will be happy with having Kickstarts in the Devs folder.

If you are doing this via Workbench in a Emulator:

Open Devs folder, and right click mouse -> goto menu -> Show All Files. And see if the "Kickstarts" directory already exists or

Right click mouse -> Menu -> Execute Command -> "Dir Devs: #? all"
and see if the "Kickstarts" directory shows up in the directory list"

That was it! Thank You redblade! And Yes WinUAE 4.9.0. Bizarre why the Kickstarts drawer was hidden in the first place, but that did the trick!!
