Amstrad CPC / BIN export from DSK / "Line too long"

Hi !

When I try to export a BIN program from a DSK file (option "Save BIN as") , I can't execute them on my Amstrad CPC 6128 with run command (message error : "Line too long") :(
Export work with other windows app like ManageDsk.

New Feature: Being able to extract files with Amsdos header from the DSK...

Hello Damien! :)

I am helping to the ScummVM people to improve the support of Amstrad CPC games using the freescape engine. Then I was explaining them, that the original disk versions of the freescape CPC games have not protection at all (maybe 2 or 3 packs), and because that it will be much better to use directly the files from the disks instead of implementing a .EDSK decoder in ScummVM.

Then your DiskImageManager is perfect for that, because it is very easy to use, a lot easier than the usual old commandline tools (for example, they are not able to trim the files to the exact size, they use always a size multiple of the sector size, padding the end of the file with the usual $E5).

But I can not find in DiskImageManager a way of extracting from the disk image the files with the Amsdos header. And I think that ScummVM should support cpc files with the original amsdos header; because between other things, we can put the same files in a disk image for using in the CPC and you don't need to know the details about loading address, execution address, ...

What do you think about this feature?

Command line & drag and drop

Hello,

Congratulations for your softwre, is becoming the best tool for to manage dsk files.

When I was 16 I had an Amstrad PCW 8256, late on became a 8512 due to I worked for an Amstrad technical service company, even I adapted a 5 1/4 drive to my PCW in order to reduce disk costs, that's why today I enjoy with PCW emulators, Joyce from John Elliott and PCW Box from Habi, also I had a ZX Spectrum, and many of my frieds had an Amstrad CPC, so I play a lot with dsk files, thats why I love DiskImageManager.

I would like advice a couple of things:

1. Be able to open a dsk file using the command line, for example with KuShellExtension, another great program.
   Or extract the specified files to a specified folder, using wildcard.

2. Be able to manage files inside dsk image with drag and drop, that way the file management will be really quick.
