Thanks for the complements :-)
I have been collecting since 30 years, so it is grown quit a bit, yes.

Okay, I did not upload it correctly to my CF-card.
Somehow the image got corrupted.... (read below)
#3, It DOES work.
So all 3 do work.

version #1 and #3 are the same.
Start with a yellow screen with Sierra on-line logo.
version #2 starts with a blue screen, no logo.

So I guess your copy ended badly on the CF too?
I did notice the manager has troubles with Win10, I'm getting kicked out a lot lately.
Not quit sure what went wrong.
Names are buffered (???) and when kicked-out the same name does not transfer anymore....?...??..
I had to change all names of the files and the manager worked again.
This took me some hours to figure out and upload the ATR's.
Let me know if you get a word back from the writer of the tool.

Grtz,
Sijmen.

Yes, the tool was re-written with the Windows 10 framework. :) It does work for me now...however, the logo and button images do not show up. This is not a big issue because when I hover my cursor over a button, the tooltip text appears.

The latest tool is Pre-release v0.974 NET46. It's attached to this post. Even when I use the tool to upload the image to the card, "Ulysses" just locks up. It locks up on both my 800xl and my 130xe.

Thanks!

I wait for a more stable version then.

The current manager works OK.
If you know how to avoid the lock-ups. ;-)

I'd love to get feedback on this new version of MyIDE Drive Manager (particularly from long standing users).

That way I can see what might need to be added / fixed etc.

Assuming there is interest, of course. :)

I think you may have misunderstood. The upload doesn't lock-up. The tool works fine. "Ulysses" still locks up when loading. Sorry for the confusion. I should have been more clear. :oops: I edited the post above to clarify this.

Current version is on 200+ downloads, so, yes it is a useful tool.
I have a go at this later this week, busy with other projects at the moment.
When you can get (the reported) the mutton-images to work, I can upload it to the download-topic.
Windows 10 only?

Thanks for the support!
Sijmen.

I've fixed the images not displaying on some machines problem, helpfully verified by AtariGuy.

This version should work on any machine that has .NET Framework 4.6 installed (which is by default on Windows 10, and is available for Windows 7 from here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48130).

The latest pre-release of MyIDE Drive Manager is always here:
