Some questions about RAM disk

[rkauer]

 Just confirming in reproduceable way:

 1- copy a file with long name (transfer it via Aexplorer, Dopus, or compressed in an archive). Put it directly on RAMDISK: ;

 2- See it via Workbench: the name will appear truncated;

 3- But in Dopus 4.18, the name appear just like the original, generated by a peecee with Win XP or other (better) OS. You can rename it to whatever you like.

Ive never really understood what RAM disk is for..?

Maybe im missing something .. but what is the use of it?

 RAM disk is used for other things than temporary storage:

 - definition of icons datatypes;
 - clipboard;
 - program definitions and libraries.
