Disk BlitzA recent release of the Applesauce client has added a new camera feature. It utilizes any connected camera to be able to take snapshots of floppy disks as you image them. Simply take the pictures and then image your disk. When you save your disk image, the snapshots will automatically be saved along side your disk image and named appropriately to match the disk. A super simple process that only takes a few seconds to add photos to your imaging flow.
John Aycock@diskblitz That's a great idea! Is there any way to include those (or maybe thumbnails) as part of the .woz or .moof metadata in the file itself?
@herrprofdr my original draft of the WOZ spec allowed for embedded png and pdf files as well as a spec for fully functional code wheels. People hated the idea as it would make the disk images "too big" and would require special tools to view them. That being said, WOZ/MOOF are fully extensible and a new chunk type could easily be added that contained picture data. And the additional chunk wouldn't affect compatibility with any existing tools that adhere properly to the spec.
@diskblitz Fair enough, thanks. I just get nervous about the possibility of associated information going awol if it's separate.
