That was what I had in mind when I suggested that we also change the directory separator. So if the path is full of '/' (for example) then those are the new style file system and are handled by new code and if there are no '/' but '_' then that uses the old style file system. Ok, I know the whole thing is probably moot, but hey, we can call it brainstorming and have a bit of fun can't we? With the 'dual' filesystem in place, old programs carry on with their device_directory_file_extension and new programs, written to take advantage, use the new style device/directory/file.extension. The problem you allude to above is when you have old style programs on a system with mixed or new style file systems, then they will not cope with the new style at all - and QPAC2's Files utility will, to all intents and purposes, be useless.
