Exporting to KF RAW -- DD image but written w/HD drive?

Post by mbalmer »

Is it possible, when exporting a 360K double-density (40-track) floppy image as a set of KF RAW stream files, to get the software to create a set of files that has its name properly set for writing that image back using a high-density (80-track) drive?

Right now, if I export a 40-track image, it will name the files with numbers 00.0 through 40.1, which works fine if you're using a 360K drive to write these files back as the drive can only seek out to track 40.

However, if I only have access to an 80-track drive, I have to manually rename every file and double its track number (so track 1 becomes track 2, track 2 becomes track 4, track 3 becomes track 6, and so on, out to track 80) so that when I write out the stream files with a KF, it doesn't mistakenly try to write tracks on the disk where there shouldn't be.

It would be very useful to have a little box you can tick that just says "double track numbers when exporting to RAW" or something.

Try the new beta version :

And set the "KFRAWEXPORT_DOUBLE_STEP" variable to 1 to enable this option.
