DirMaster v3.1.5 / Style

DirMaster is a Windows-based GUI application designed to help Commodore enthusiasts explore and manage their disk image collections.

DirMaster supports common (and uncommon) emulator disk image formats (such as .d64, .d81, .d2m, etc), almost every native Commodore archival format (such as .arc, .sda, .lnx, etc), and many native graphic formats (such as koala, doodle, amica, etc).

DirMaster was designed to give users a perfect blend of familiar appearance (e.g. natural looking disk image contents using the PETSCII character set) and modern GUI functionality (e.g. drag and drop, opening multiple disk images at once). The first version of DirMaster was released in 2006

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]
