Michael,
I still have not hit that "Ah-Hah!" moment on the process.
Worked with CiderPress today; I had 6 shk files and a .2mg file. I
put them into one file on the PC, but no matter how I fiddled with
Ciderpress, I couldn't see how to convert that folder into a volume.
Even if I had, it isn't clear to me what steps I would take to write
that volume to a Prodos formatted Zip disk.
I'd like to try again... any chance you could give me a couple of
specific steps to follow?
Sure!
For files already in an Apple II disk image file opened in CiderPress,
you don't convert the folder into a volume, you "copy" and "paste"
them into an existing volume (that you may create using "File/New/Disk
image").
For files in the PC filesystem, you use the "Action/Add files" dialog
to select the files to add to an open image.
To write to a _volume_ that you've opened, you must uncheck the "Open as
read-only" box on the open dialog. (I suspect this is the key step
you've missed.)
BTW, CiderPress' "copy" and "paste" is not recursive in directories.
All files to be copied and pasted must be selected, not just the top
directory. If you want to preserve the directory structure, you should
also "Edit/Preferences" and uncheck "Strip pathnames when pasting
files".
