HxCFlppyEmulatorSoftware : Flatpak, extension appending

Post by mahen »

Hi ! :)

First, thank you so much for designing the HxC floppy emulator and maintaining it over the years :-)

I have 2 little questions. Clearly pretty unimportant ones !

1) I was very happy to see the HxCFloppyEmulator Software was part of the Linux flatpak store (which means : 2 clicks installation on any distro). I noticed that I could only use the Documents subfolder of my home directory. Is that on purpose ? Maybe this is how flatpaks which are granted filesystem access behave ?

2) when batch converting ADFs, I see the resulting filename is "xxx-adf.hfe" : is it possible not to append systematically -adf ? (the original extension)
I understand the information can be useful in some cases but in my cases I would like to have an uncluttered listing :)

Thanks again :) Take care,
Mahen

I ran this to allow the software to access my home folder:

Code: Select all

sudo flatpak override --filesystem=home:ro fr.free.hxc2001.HxCFloppyEmulator
This provides a read-only access to the home folder. If you want write access, remove the

Code: Select all
