They are all Apple Disk Files:) I agree and this is why I use Apple II Oasis 
to build disks initially since it allows me to right click on a selected 
group of files and change the shared properties. However in my view 
providing the same level of support for Apple CP/M disks as other Apple 
disks is a major core enhancement, which would broaden the base 
functionality.

Being able to select multiple files for property changes is a UI change, 
like my sort request, which I think would be of equal priority from a user 
interface perspective but which would not broaden the core format support 
for Ciderpress.

After all is said and done, none of us really need any of this to use 
Ciderpress. I am alarmed to hear that Andy had a disk crash. I hate those. 
When a developer loses his build environment it is like losing part of 
himself. How could our selfish wishes begin to compare to Andy's grief over 
this. I've been known to wear sackcloth and put ashes on my head for years 
after the loss of one of my beloved hard disks. Just losing the oxide on 
some of my  Aztec C originals is still affecting me very deeply years 
later:( as you may have noticed:)
