Hi Keirf,

first of all, thank you for FlashFloppy: it’s an amazing piece of software and incredibly useful for the retro community.

I’d like to ask if it would be possible to add support for disk images with the .KDI extension.

In practice, .KDI images use exactly the same format as standard .DSK images.
The .KDI extension is used to identify floppy disk images formatted for the Kempston DOS Interface, and it is also the extension used by the RelSpectrum ZX Spectrum simulator.

From a technical point of view, the change should be very small, likely just mapping the additional extension to the existing DSK handler.
For example, duplicating the existing entry:

{ "dsk", &dsk_image_handler },

and adding:

{ "kdi", &dsk_image_handler },

This would allow FlashFloppy+ to load Kempston DOS disk images seamlessly without requiring users to rename files.

Thanks again for your work, and please let me know if you’d like me to test or provide example images.

Best regards,
Eugenio
