Thanks Per This tip has given me a workaround for something that has been bothering me for ages in uQLx. There it affects FILE_SELECT$ as well. As it only kills an instance of uQLx and you can pop another up straight away it didn't bother me enough to complain about it. I just tried to get used to <-ing back to the "root" drive name before swapping drive numbers. Now with "Short filenames" configured off it is completely stable. There is only a slight display inconsistency when say swapping from win1_xyz_ to drive number 2 which has no xyz directory win2_ is listed but it still says win2_xyz_ I use uQLx with Minerva ROM perhaps the combination is not 100% level 2 directory device conform.
