Command line & drag and drop

Hello,

Congratulations for your softwre, is becoming the best tool for to manage dsk files.

When I was 16 I had an Amstrad PCW 8256, late on became a 8512 due to I worked for an Amstrad technical service company, even I adapted a 5 1/4 drive to my PCW in order to reduce disk costs, that's why today I enjoy with PCW emulators, Joyce from John Elliott and PCW Box from Habi, also I had a ZX Spectrum, and many of my frieds had an Amstrad CPC, so I play a lot with dsk files, thats why I love DiskImageManager.

I would like advice a couple of things:

  1. Be able to open a dsk file using the command line, for example with KuShellExtension, another great program. Or extract the specified files to a specified folder, using wildcard.

  2. Be able to manage files inside dsk image with drag and drop, that way the file management will be really quick.

  1. Perhaps, this wouldn't be difficult to do.
  2. Right now we support read/extract only and I don't have any immediate plans to allow adding files/writing to DSKs.

The main problem with drag-to-export is that some files you will need the headers and other files you might not. There isn't a clear way to decide where to put this in the drag-drop model.
