Specific functions
Each view has some specific functions:
MEGA65 internal SD card
Each D81 image file has a Mount button. It will be mounted on the MEGA65 when you click it.
The mount function works only in the main directory. That’s why you see this button only there.
The Info button is available for each file. It tells you whether the file is fragmented or not. A defragmented file shows a hex number followed by one or several dots:
A fragmented file shows several hex numbers and therefore critical from MEGA65 perspective. In most cases the MEGA65 can handle fragmented files except image files (D81).
Copy/delete files only with mega65_ftp or M65Connect onto an SD card else you may create fragmented files causing weird issues.
Local attached SD card
Each D81 image file has an Open button in the Command column. Click it to see the content of the D81 image file.
D81 image file
Whenever you press the Open button of a D81 image file its content will be shown:
You can change the Diskname (16 chars) or the Disk ID (2 chars). Any changes (also copying or renaming files) will be stored in capital letters.
You can delete or extract (copy) files of an opened image file.
You have two options to copy image compatible files into an opened image.
Option 1 - copy single file(s)

Head to the local directory where the files to be copied are located
Select the file(s) you want copy into the opened image file and click the copy button
Option 2 - copy image file(s)

Head to the local directory where the image file to be copied is located

Select the file(s) in a window you want to copy to the other window. This also works for opened D81 image files: You can copy files from or into D81 image files (REL files not yet supported).
