Keatah Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Is there any sort of comprehensive .ATR, .XEX, .DCM disk and file manager for the 8-bit Ataris? Something that allows adding and deleting files from an image. Something that works on the PC side of things only and does not require any 8-bit or 3rd party hardware. For the Apple II we have something called CiderPress. http://a2ciderpress.com/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Yep, my ATR Tools app does that... I need to finish up support for a couple more DOS Types before the release of the Win32 version. The old version written in Visual Basic can be found here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/192052-atr-tools/page-2?do=findComment&comment=3212606 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 try this: i think Kheffington sent it me some time ago DISK CREATE.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Also look at Altirra's disk explorer, which is a very capable image manager which also handles the SDFS format. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Check out MakeATR. It is a true Win32 application with a real GUI. Web page in Polish, but it is in English and very easy to use. Ataridos/MyDos. Don't know about DCM's and XFD's -- I avoid DCM's when possible and when necessary use Imagic from Atarimax. http://serious-dial.atari.pl/makeATR/ Imagic 1.06 http://www.atarimax.com/ (scroll down...) -Larry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Larry Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hi Roy- ATADIM is great and I use it regularly, but can it do more than just show the directory contents? Didn't think it could, but it would be great if it does more than that. -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madi Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 In my continuous search for a comprehensive Atari file management software, couldn't find a better one than this: Atari File-Management v1.7.002 Even though it has its pitfalls, still outweighs all available managers (in my opinion). It is a decent image directory that searches PC directories, and files within ATR images, add files and delete them. Supports several DOS formats. Also, it exports ascii export option. The best of all, it can be made to run executables through emulators. See photos (directories of Pooldisk_Too_CD1) madi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the atadim.cfg file set up double cliking on COM, XEX, Files will launch the associated program [EMU] for 8bit files. DOC,TXT, ETC.. will launch an associated text editor .. MIC, PIC, ETC will launch a picture viewer Like the Recoil program for viewing 8bit graphics. RMT extenders will launch Raster Music and play the selected file.. Best would be to read the website that explains it all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Larry Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Update -- I still found that not much worked, but then I clicked on the little red dot on the GUI, and that turns off the Read Only mode. It's evidently a read only toggle. Once I did that the buttons at the bottom are no longer "grayed out." Yes, looks like a lot more works. Hope that helps someone else. -Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctor_x Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 As I started reading this thread I began thinking “there should be a file explorer that does all of this plus can associate emu’s with file types or at least allow you to select on the fly which emu to use via right-click or something...” then I found out the program above does that... Now I am thinking we need a file manager that works with ALL emulated file types and can handle multi OS brokering... could be very cool and seen positively by a large number of people due to being cross-scene.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Another fine bit of software for this is Atari Archiv, its an Atari based port of Purmikes excellent C64 Archiv tool for that er other machine.... http://purmike.de/documents/atariarchiv.html Its pretty much a databasing util only but does it very nicely..
