AmigaOS 3.2.3 update available

One obvious reason is to get around "naive" software which doesn't work correctly with paths containing spaces.

I am a beta tester (of OS4), so I take the opposite stand - I often specifically test things against the RAM Disk to make sure I catch anything of that kind :-).

I have seen stuff insisting on using the volume name instead of the device name, so that even if you had specified RAM:, it would translate it to "RAM Disk:".

All preferences programs do expand any path to the real name, even Assigns. And yes, i hate it.

I believe we did get rid of all those situations in prefs programs in OS4; the last one was WBPattern, and I think that's already 5-10 years ago.

I'd suggest reporting them as bugs also in 3.x.

Assuming files are on DF0: instead of Update3.2.3: is probably going to come with a lot of issues.

Yeah, but I'm talking about the situation where you have saved a preference as default, e.g. (for WBPattern) with a reference to a backdrop located in SYS:Prefs/Presets/<something>/..., then you don't want "SYS:" to be converted and saved as e.g. "Workbench:" in that path, because if you copy your prefs to another boot partition, you'd have to go through them all and correct them to whatever you called that partition.

That's what we got fixed in OS4.
