Re: [Ql-Users] Possible bug in the (experimental) QubIDE feature of QXLWinReader

2017-10-29 Thread Wolf via Ql-Users

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=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.
