Image file loads as different setting - clh333 - 12-21-2015
I am copying some of the older stuff and submitting it to the WinWorld library. They have been patient as I learn the ropes: my thanks and my condolences!
I ran across the following issue today and made a note to ask: Re-imaging a particular software title (Lucid 3D from DacEasy) and using a Panasonic 360k drive, I set the copy parameters to IBM360, index sync, wipe tracks. I created an image file, zipped it and sent it off to WW.
Then I loaded the image file again and was going to write it back to disk as proof of copy. I noticed as I loaded the file that the IBM360 setting changed automatically to TI/99. When I reset the TI/99 setting to IBM360, the image disappeared and I had to reload it. When I reloaded it, it again came up as TI/99.
Somehow this seems counter-intuitive. Does the .scp file contain a "signature" indicating its type, or is the image analyzed on-the-fly as it is loaded?

That is a bug, but it won't matter for creating a disk. The ID is only used for the display. The information about the tracks used and such is contained in the raw data itself.
