Everything I listed in my first post in this topic  ;D

- Missing quality of life features:
    - Ability to invert mouse scroll direction ("natural" scroll).
    - Progress bar when adding HDFs. Anything over a few MB takes a while and there's no indication that anything is happening.
    - Timer or something when opening a large folder from USB stick. Bonus points if you swap the mouse pointer for a "thinking" cloud ;)
    - Ability to choose smaller icons or perhaps a list view in the games selector.
    - Access to amiberry interface for additional tweaking when games need it.
    - Ability to map keyboard keys to joystick (as per UAE, cursor keys + ctrl)
    - Ability to filter/start typing when selecting an adf to import. Long lists are painful to scroll through.
    - Ability to map a joystick button to Up (and disable Up on the joypad)
    - Disk drive noise  8)
- Issues:
    - Audio pops on jack output when no sounds have played for a while (a few seconds) and then you click on a disc or something. Not good for my speakers!
    - File selector is case-sensitive so upper-case appears before lower-case.
    - Sounds sometimes repeat, e.g. select a game, sometimes the disk sound happens twice.

And here's another tiny feature request: file selectors should remember your last position and start from there next time.

For example, say I have ADFs in a folder like Downloads/ADFs/Games/S/. First I insert Settlers disk 1, I have to navigate through those folders, scroll through a hundred ADFs to find it. For disk 2 I have to do all of that again. If the dialog remembered my folder and position in the scroll list, disk 2 would be right there already.

Doing this once isn't a problem. When you're playing Amiga games every day and you do this a lot, it's very annoying ;)

The file sector need a through rework, but I agree with your concept.

Bear in mind though that in a A600GS GUI when you add a a game you can add all 15 disks (if it has that many) and use the diskchanger to quickly select between the selected disks.

Yeah, not too bad if I'm just setting up a new game in the list as I just have to do it once. This is more of a pain for "messing about with Amigas" uses. For example, the other day I set up an A500 system and was browsing through some old magazine coverdisks for nostalgia.

I'm not sure if this is a request or existing features I can't find:

- Mass add WHDLoad LHAs to the menu. I've got loads via the WHDLoad Download Tool, which I use for my A500Mini, can I just import them all?

- Also with WHDLoad, can you set the "custom=" field, or change a setting to see the WHDLoad options when you launch?

- And I guess, seconding (or whatever-ing) the request to allow multiple HDFs to be added.

- Themes for the main A600GS menu? Just in case you wanted something different to the dark theme. I guess same goes for Amibench itself (which I haven't even checked!)

I probably just need to spend more time tinkering.

How about support for two mice? Bit of two player Lemmings!
