Weird floppy saveimage naming scheme inconsistency about winuae HOT 3 OPEN

I don't remember but it has to be some backwards compatibility feature. I'll probably get rid of it in later versions. But there is also possibility this will break something..

from winuae.

I finally found the reason for this naming logic. Originally "saveimages" were only saved in \saveimages but (much) later option was added that saves saveimages in same directory as main adf. This introduced a small "problem": both had .adf extension which made it difficult to quickly see which files are "real" adfs and which are saveimages. I decided to use name extension .save_adf which makes it easy (for normal users) to separate file types but for compatibility purposes I didn't want to change old naming style.

Next version will always check both naming styles which removes the need to rename files (both Paths panel options will find both names automatically). I am not yet sure if I want to make it the only naming style. Backwards compatibility is high priority.

Sounds great Toni. Probably a good way forward would be to only write .adf but read both for backwards compatibility reasons.
