Hi,
thanks for pointing this out.
I'm a little short on time right now, but will check this as soon as
possible.
Under which file system does this error arise, QLWA ou Qubide?
Regards
Wolfgang

Hi list and especially Wolfgang
Not sure the best way to report the issue, but as per my recent thread
on the Forum (http://qlforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2146), I seem to
have uncovered an odd behaviour when copying directory structures from
WIN to a QL.BDI image file on SDC.
I know this feature is still experimental, but I already use it quite a
lot - especially after corrupting my SD-Card sufficiently that it
wouldn't get recognised on the QL, but QXLWinReader was able to read all
the files and directories (somehow!), allowing me to recreate the QL.BDI
image file and restore all the contents. At the moment, this valuable
little program is my preferred way to transfer large amounts of data
between QPC and my QL.
In short, whilst the directory structures are all copied across with
their files (and further sub-directories), it would appear that the
file-header copy inside each sub-directory file itself is not copied
across intact. The effect of this is that, whilst a DIR listing shows
the ' ->' against such sub-directories indicating that it is recognised
as a directory-file, when you use FTYP to query the sub-dir path, it
returns '0' as for a normal file.
I've tested this - as documented on the Forum - and think I've ruled out
anything else (like the typical user-error that plagues most of my QL
work!)
Would love to see this investigated and possibly addressed!
Regards,
Martyn.
