Hi Jon,
Downloading the JASPP zip files for Cannon Fodder and Lemmings the other day to play on Arculator RISC OS 3.1 I found the ADFFS behaviour with the disk images a little odd and recalled I've felt similarly previously.
The disk images both uncompressed as &FFD type data files using SparkFS and when I drag them onto the ADFFS iconbar icon they don't appear to open. I had to manually set the filetype to one of the types ADFFS handles (I forget which, I think I just picked one from the !Sprites file icons) and then can double-click it and ADFFS opens the filer window for the disk image so I can play the game. I was expecting behaviour more akin to that from SparkFS i.e. drag to the iconbar icon sets the disk image filetype correctly and opens the disk image file. Am I thinking of it in the wrong way or is there a reason why ADFFS doesn't behave like that?
