The latest update to DirMaster, v3.1.5, has been released. There are no new features in this release, only bug fixes.

Issues reported by users that were resolved in v3.1.5:

  • BAM can display a file chain for an offset file depending on Show Deleted Files toggle [0200] (M. Huth)
  • allow VIC-20 BASIC files to be viewed [0201] (S. Houdek)​

Issues resolved due to user interest in v3.1.5:

DirMaster has supported 40 track disks since v3 in a limited read-only manner. Some users (most recently, hedning/G*P) expressed interest in better support for 40 track .d64; in response, v3.1.5 resolves these issues, with more features likely in a future version:

  • PrologicDOS diskname and id are read from the wrong location [0176]
  • improve detection of PrologicDOS, DolphinDOS and SpeedDOS [0208]
  • blocks free doesn’t account for tracks 36-40 when an extended track DOS format is detected [0209]
  • enable writing files to tracks 36-40 on extended DOS format d64 [0210]
  • extending a disk from 35 to 40 tracks should initialize the extra BAM for a default extended DOS (default = DolphinDOS) [0211]

Thanks to all who made an effort to submit bug reports and feedback. If you sent a bug report and don’t see it addressed here, don’t worry, it’s in the queue.

Other issues resolved in v3.1.5:

  • Can’t set a sector error to 29 [0202]
  • a .cvt file that contained a .cvt file would unarchive back to the containing .cvt [0203]
