hello fellows.
The idiocy of how the "bulk" menu and the "bulk save" functions are named in the USB Floppy Manager Tool 1.40i reached stellar levels.
Some time ago, I installed a USB floppy disk drive reader in my PC and took a great amount of time to 'import' dozens of floppy disks onto a USB memory stick using USB Floppy Manager Tool 1.40i.
Since the above mentioned USB memory stick is getting old, today I wanted to make a backup of it.
Therefore, I plugged the USB memory stick in my PC, I opened USB Floppy Manager Tool 1.40i and I looked around in the menus to find a way to replicate the entire content of such memory stick onto a brand new USB Memory stick that I had also plugged to my PC.
I noticed a menu called "Bulk". In this menu, there was an entry saying "bulk save". Therefore, it seemed clear that this function could be used to 'bulk save' (namely) all the floppy volumes somewhere else. As soon as I clicked 'bulk save', it deleted all of the 100 floppy volumes that were saved on the original (old) USB memory stick.
How in the world could a function named 'save' destroy all the data on a support???
Thankfully, before doing that, I had also made a backup of the volumes on a folder in my hard drive. However, in such folder, I have 100 subfolders, each one containing the files of each floppy volume. But they're not .img image files. They're just folders containing the files that were contained in each floppy disk originally.
1) Does any of you know how can I restore my 100 floppy volumes from those folders saved on my hard drive onto the USB memory sticks?
2) Can any of you express an opinion on the idiocy of how the "bulk" menu and the "bulk save" function are named? Is it just me having a mental glitch or do you also feel it's idiotic?
Thank you!
