I've gone off course somewhere. Seems like used to I could doubleclick on an ADF icon and have the disk image mounted on the Workbench screen.
So I downloaded a couple of CUAmiga cover disk ADFs with Imagine 4.0 on it because I want to see if I that works with OS4.1u3 like someone mentioned. But RunInUAE tries to get hold of them. (Hi, Chris!). So I turned off RunInUAE for now but can't seem to get DiskImage to mount the ADFs.
Do I need to change things in DefIcons? DEVS:? Elsewhere? I've tried MountDiskImage command from the shell, but I keep getting a requester saying to insert IDF0:
This happened to me the other day and I scratched my head, I just loaded DiskImageGUI, double-clicked a device and loaded the ADF in that way.
Side comment, even though the icon for the DiskImageGUI tool is present in the usual location it strangely isn't appearing in the Workbench window :S I use the Find tool, search it and double-click it that way.
However ADFs are somewhat irrelevant to me now as I registered WHDLoad, no slow floppy disc loading! It works perfectly within RunInUAE!!! Amazing work Chris. :)
I can now understand why someone is eager to get a PPC JIT working - some AGA games are dog slow especially Pinball Illusions. Not having hardware composition drivers probably doesn't help either - but after all that ranting I am suitably impressed. Boy I never remember Project X being so hard
Sounds like you didn't have IDF0: mounted but apparently you managed to fix it on your own.
The mounting by doubleclick on icon is handled by the DefIcons def_#?.info files in ENVARC:Sys/. F.e. to modify the doubleclick mounting behavior for ADF files you modify the ENVARC:Sys/def_adf.info file. More detailed instructions on how the MountDiskImage can be used as a default tool can be found in the diskimage_device.guide file.
@mbrantley "I downloaded a couple of CUAmiga cover disk ADFs with Imagine 4.0 on it because I want to see if I that works with OS4.1u3 like someone mentioned. But RunInUAE tries to get hold of them."
When RunInUAE is installed, it "takes over" ADF icons (specifically EnvArc:Sys/def_adf.info), so that they are run by it, rather than being mounted for by OS4.
But as pointed out elsewhere, you *should* still be able to manually mount ADFs in IDF0 using DiskImageGUI.
You're not talking about the m68k-amigaos version which I uploaded to Aminet just recently, are you? While this version can probably be used on AmigaOS4.x it's not recommended to do so as it doesn't have all of the features of the ppc-amigaos version and also has some workarounds in order to run on older AmigaOS versions.

Oops, misspoke. In fact I got latest OS4 version from OS4Depot. Thanks, everybody! At the moment on my Sam RunInUAE is not the boss of ADF files, but I may change it back. Might be handy to have a toggle for this. But I think something was hosed with my earlier diskimage installation as I could not even manually mount an adf.
Deficons settings file is unfortunately not in text or xml format, so it's unpractical to change the settings without using the dedicated program. So there's the usual old method of saving multiple settings files and activating them with 'sys:prefs/deficons use choice1.prefs'.

You only need to edit the DefIcons prefs file if you want to add recognition for new formats that aren't already defined in the prefs file. For formats that are defined in the prefs file you can just edit/replace the def_#?.info icon files in the ENVARC:Sys directory.

Right, I got the wrong target. Here too you need several versions of a file for easy switching. Or a dedicated (commandline) tool to modify .info files.
