Drag and Drop HDF mounting?

killergorilla · 28 June 2008, 21:25

Just a small request...

Any chance that hdfs could be mounted like zips can with drag and drop?

Hmm, it seems it already works

Open the hard drives window and drag a HDF file on it. Voila the HDF is mounted

Works with multiple HDF's aswell.
Or do you mean while WinUAE is running?

I meant while WinUAE is running, just dropping it in to the main window, which works with zip/lha/lzx...

I figured it must be possible!

It isn't easy because AmigaOS won't help with automounting, will happen someday... (same problem was with archive/usb stick/directory harddrive automounting on the fly, slow and painful job..)

Well thanks for responding, I was hoping it would be a trivial task (at least for FFS hdfs anyway) but nothing's ever that simple now is it
