  Volhout said  Hi Jim,

Are the "change to drive" and "copy to drive" buttons for local copy ? (i.e. from picomite A: drive to picomite B: drive )?

Yes Drive X to drive Y on the picomite.
There were buttons for drive A and drive B previously. I was hiding the ones that weren't relevant.
With the much larger range of devices out there, had to let the user work out which drives he has.

I don't have anything with the 3 drives to test. I have started reading the latest manuals to see what I have missed in the last few versions.

  Quote  Small bug in MMCC: when transferring a file from PC to pico, using "temporary file".
When that file already exists (overwriting): everything is okay.
When that file did not previously exist(a new file): the renaming fails, and a file called XMtemp.tmp is left on the pico.


What sort of picomite?
I have tested with a picomite geek V6.3.0 and it transfers a new file correctly on both drive a and b

Pseudo code
KILL "fname$" ' will give an error message if it doesn't exist but doesn't stop things.
RENAME "XMtemp.tmp" AS "fname$" ' try the first version of rename command
NAME "XMtemp.tmp" AS "fname$" 'try alternatinve command to rename
