Strange Issue
Maybe this issue is general known, but for me its rather strange.
Is it really wanted, that you can insert an Amiga executable as floppy disk. I was very surprised, that an executable starts like a floppy disk. |

Why do you call it an issue ? It's a very welcome feature.

Yes, you can easily play small, single file games or cracktros this way without putting it in ADF. Somewhat strange, but good feature. You can not use startup sequence because there is no way to include folders.

When did features become issues?

True, its not an Issue, but this feature was not known to me until now.
I was a little bit confused, than a friend gave me an ADF for checking. I have inserted this ADF and wondered, that i can not write protect this disk. So i have examined the file and was surprised, that it is an executable with (wrong) ADF suffix. |
