Using zero as unit is unusual, try 1 or 2. could be a bug.
Of course you have to change the ID on the drive as well.

What CDs are you trying? Burned or original? Amiga CDs? Audio?

Did you had a look into Workbench preferences?

So you will need a terminator. Or set it to on if thats what it means on your drive.

I just found a little problem:
It appears that MultiView or rather the text/ansi datatypes struggling to handle longer text files, in my case just above 2MB, aprox. 66k lines of ansi output log from a tool.

Maybe a bug or just slightly above the limit the datatype can handle?

It eats up all the memory too (~ 6MB).

Edit: Memacs seems to read it just fine.

Mine has ansi ESC codes in it, for BOLD. Would that made a difference? What about the amount of lines? Mine has almost 67000.

Thanks for trying. It is not really important, i don't really need it to have ESC codes at all. :)

It entirely depends on how the text is being rendered/stored. A normal text can be loaded as one block into memory and then you just count(store) all linebreaks as longwords, in my example 66*4kbytes + size of text 2mbytes.
Once you find special codes, the datatype might add more overhead to it, like begin/end/length of esc sequence, or even split the entire text up into pieces of strings with their own properties and what not.
I don't know how the ansi works in text.datatype but i kindof understand why it uses 3x the amount of RAM.

@Gulliver
as you seem to be involved in the 3... OS developement i'd like to address a wish as Thor is no longer feelin welcome here.

When something is launched from Workbench, mostly by dblclick, the very icon stays active, selected, even if the launched app opens a new screen. I wish the icon gets deactivated as it is no longer in the focus. Can this made an option in the future release someday as it bothers me for ages, really?

As i recall all new media types, like SSDs and Flashdrives handling their storage internaly by 4k blocks, so whatever your filesystem reads or writes regarding block sizes the access is always done via 4k blocks in hardware at the end.

that being said, there was a survey with a tool send to participants before AOS4 release to test the amount of files/sizes of any storage and the result was like 75% of all files are smaller than 1kB, whatever that means. But i might be wrong as my brain memory fades away ... ???

Fyi, i found that old message i sent regarding the topic seen below.
It was 2002, and a tool named 'sampledir' had to be downloaded and run. It spit out a histogram like text which i will attach below.
It had to be send to olsen@amiga.com.  :P

After playing with the new DiskDoctor a bit i noticed the inclusion of some (de)compression functionality, from the likes of the installation disks files. What is the purpose and how do i use it? And what are ODABIFILEs(iirc)?
Any docs on how to exploit the DiDo fully?
