You may want to keep the old ram-handler, 'cause the new ones has weird quirks, especially if you have a habit of relabelling RAM:.

Who would relabel ram? Never ever thought of doing that on in 40 years.

If your entire setup was in Welsh, would you still leave an anglosaxon “RAM Disk” on the desktop?

If you read the license, you will see that it’s a requirement that you set locales according to the location of the system, and so I set mine to Norwegian, but since we have two official variants of Norwegian, but only one being supported in the OS (and thus also breaking some regulations), I had to make my own locales despite the necessary files to do so not being available. Also I had to grab some code from the leaked OS sources to fix .country and .language files. Anyhow, "RAM Disk" is not good Norwegian, as we (like all Germanic languages except one) compound words consistently without spaces, and with hyphens following acronyms, so it would have to be "RAM-disk". But I prefer "Minne", as in "Memory", it isn’t a "disk" by any means, just a file system in memory.

Ye, lucky you. The “just use RAM:” is a bogus argument, both because a lot of software expand to volume name (rightfully so, normally you wish to adress the filesystem, and not the device the filesystem is atteched to, which might change over time), and because of the way the bug manifests itself - enter “ram:” in path gadget (dopus 4.12 on 68000) and it expands to just “:”, which isn’t ram: but rather root of whatever context dopus started from.

(Of course you’re Welsh, so quick to be on the defense regarding ram…)

Defend? not sure I follow.
Ok, it was a joke, playing with a certain stereotype of Welsh men.

So its a locale thing? when using different languages, issue appears?

It is not a locale problem per se, no. Once you have everything localised, "RAM Disk" sticks out like a sore thumb.

Regardless, your focus is misplaced. Relabelling RAM: has not been a problem before, but with 3.2.3 it is. This has been acknowledged and is addressed for next update, so...
